  2. Copilot randomly got removed from taskbar options.

    Hello,

    I can understand how frustrating it is when an essential feature like copilot disappears unexpectedly.

    Here are few steps to fix this issue.

    1. Open Settings.

      Click on Personalization.

      In Taskbar, check if the Copilot toggle is off. If so, turn it on.
    2. If Group Policy Editor isn’t working, try these steps:
      • Press Win + R, and enter gpedit.msc.
      • Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar.
      • Look for any policies related to Copilot and ensure they’re not disabled.
    If the problem persists, please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Thank you.

    Have a great day!

  3. What is Copilot and How did it get on my PC?

    Here you go:

    https://www.itechtics.com/?dl_id=144

    Group Policy Editor Link for W11 installation

    Run as Administrator and allow to install

    NB: MUST SELECT ENABLE first AS THIS ALLOWS APP TO TURN OFF THE PROGRAM

    1. Open Local Group Policy Editor from the Windows search - type Gpedit.msc in the Run command and click icon

    1. Navigate to the following folder in the Group Policy Editor window using the left panel:User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot

    1. On the right-side pane, double-click the 'Turn off Windows Copilot' policy.

    1. Select 'Enabled' and click 'Apply' and then 'OK'. This allows the app to disable CoPilot

      Click 'Disabled' then Apply to turn off CoPilot
    f

    1. To re-enable Windows Copilot, follow the same steps and select 'Not configured' or 'Disabled'. Then, click 'Apply' and 'OK'.
    If the Copilot button is visible in the taskbar, it will disappear after you apply the policy. You do not need to restart your computer or enforce the Group Policies. The Copilot option will also disappear from the Settings app.

    How to set up Administrative Governance for Copilot Cowork

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
