My MS Copilot was showing the list of conversations I have had with it and POOF! all of a sudden no list. It should be showing in the sidebar but nothing. How do I get it back?

The interface is in Chinese so if you know how, please describe the icons to click.

Thanks a million in advance.

Edited to add: I am now getting this blurb in the sidebar.

Evidently “a few minutes” means “never”.

Also, it won’t even create a new conversation.
