Windows 10: Get rid of Copilot icon in my search on TaskBar

Windows 11 just updated and now there's AI there that I do not want. I did the registry fix to disable it from my taskbar but the icon is still there in search which means it's still lurking on my computer.I want it dead. This is the one thing that will make me get a cheap-**** Chromebook if needed.How do I get rid of that icon in my search bar and anywhere else that BS is lurking on my computer!

System Icons on taskbar

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

• 
  Click on the search bar on the taskbar.
  
• 
  Type system icons.
  
• 
  Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.
  

Hope it helps.

 

Taskbar Disappears After Copilot is Opened

Whenever I click the Copilot icon in the taskbar, after Copilot opens my taskbar disappears. The easiest way for me to fix that is to go into the Taskbar Settings and into its behavior section and toggle the auto-hide taskbar on and off. I always have auto-hide set to off but after the taskbar disappears, I just toggle this to get it back.



Is anyone else having this issue with the taskbar disappearing after Copilot is opened? Even after I close the Copilot window the taskbar remains hidden.

 

Clicking on Copilot taskbar button or pressing Win + C does not open Copilot

I am using Dev build 23606 with the newest Edge version and I have the copilot feature. However, clicking the copilot icon on the taskbar does not open copilot. The copilot pane that should appear on the right side of the screen does not appear. This problem occurred after I installed Build 23595. At first Copilot is working but after I opened and closed it a few times, the next time I tried to open it, Copilot does not open. The button responds by coloring its background white but the Copilot pane does not open. I've tried the following but copilot is still not working:

-Using the run dialogue to open microsoft-edge://?ux=copilot&tcp=1&source=taskbar

-Restarting

-Resetting Microsoft Edge settings and then restarting

-Toggling the Copilot taskbar button on and then off in Settings -> Personalization -> Taskbar
