Windows 10: How can I disable Copilot in Windows 11 Pro 2025?

I've applied a group policy from my DC, I've gone on the workstation and enabled 'Turn off Windows Copilot', and the registry setting reflects that. However, I can simply type 'copilot' in the menu search field, and Copilot starts right up. I need this disabled for a STIG. What am I missing? I turned it off in the taskbar settings as described here https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/software/how-disable-copilot-in-windows-11 but that didn't make a difference either.

How to disable copilot in Windows 11 23H2?

I recently noticed that Copilot is active on my Windows 11 PC running version 23H2, and I want to disable copilot in my windows 11. Despite following various guides, I'm still unable to turn it off. I tried navigating through the settings, but the option to disable Copilot seems to be missing. I also checked for any updates that might address this issue, but nothing seems to work. It's becoming frustrating because Copilot is interfering with my usual workflow, popping up at inconvenient times and slowing down my system.

I've even attempted to disable it via Group Policy Editor and registry tweaks, as suggested in some forums, but to no avail. The Copilot feature persists, making my user experience less than ideal. It's crucial for me to have a streamlined and efficient system for my work, and this issue is becoming a significant hindrance. I rely heavily on my PC for my professional tasks, and these disruptions are affecting my productivity.

Additionally, I've reached out to Microsoft support, but the solutions provided have not resolved the issue. I've tried restarting my PC, performing clean boots, and even reinstalling some components, but Copilot remains active. It's clear that this problem requires a more in-depth solution than what's available through standard troubleshooting steps.
