Windows 10: How to setup Copilot Studio?

Mohan Gadre · Jun 23, 2025 at 5:12 PM

I tried setting up microsoft copilot studio on my account but whenever I try it just says "Setting up your copilot may take a while." and does not progress any further. I do not see it in the list of apps under my account either. I am an employee of an organization but do not have admin role. On this forum there is no product listing as copilot but I would like support for copilot or be redirected to someone who can support me. * Moved from Community Center

how do i disable copilot completely in windows 10

Hello

My name is Michael Carroll, and I am a Microsoft Independent Advisor.

Regarding your question about how to disable Copilot entirely in Windows 10. Below is a step-by-step guide to uninstall Copilot from your system

Introduction

Copilot is a code completion tool that helps you write faster and smarter code. It is powered by GitHub and OpenAI, and it works with Visual Studio Code, a popular code editor. However, if you want to disable Copilot completely in Windows 10, you will need to uninstall both Copilot and Visual Studio Code from your system. This document will show you how to do that in a few simple steps.

Step 1: Uninstall Copilot from Visual Studio Code

Before you can uninstall Visual Studio Code, you need to uninstall Copilot from it. To do that, follow these steps:
• Open Visual Studio Code and click on the Extensions icon on the left sidebar.
• Search for Copilot in the search box and click on the Copilot extension.
• Click on the Uninstall button and confirm your action.
• Restart Visual Studio Code to complete the uninstallation.

Step 2: Uninstall Visual Studio Code from Windows 10

After you have uninstalled Copilot from Visual Studio Code, you can uninstall Visual Studio Code from Windows 10. To do that, follow these steps:
• Open the Start menu and click on the Settings icon.
• Click on Apps and then on Apps & features.
• Scroll down the list of installed apps and find Visual Studio Code.
• Click on Visual Studio Code and then on the Uninstall button.
• Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the uninstallation.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you have successfully disabled Copilot completely in Windows 10. You have also freed up some disk space and memory by uninstalling Visual Studio Code. If you want to use Copilot again in the future, you will need to reinstall both Visual Studio Code and Copilot from their official websites.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue.

I have Windows 10 installed because Windows 11 is absolute BS and was not intended to be user-friendly. All of the features that I enjoy, like the Start Menu with Tiles and Categories, are missing because Microsoft obviously doesn't care what users want.

That said, Visual Studio is not installed on my PC. I had to search for it and the only option I had was to download it so I can safely say that Copilot obviously "works", or assaults as someone else said, without the benefit of Visual Studio. So...not sure how the above steps can do a thing to take care of an invasive and irritating feature. BTW, I have Copilot toggled off and it still pops up most of the time. I hate it and I want it gone. What other suggestions might you have?

I'm sorry but i'm not a technical person and that is way to much for a regular person. it's absurd what MS is putting its users through but thanks the same. Not your fault

None of the methods to disable Copilot work, can't even hide it

The reg files do nothing. Copilot is not in the list of things you can turn on or off with the policy editor.
