Windows 10: Microsoft must give us an option to remove Copilot from all Windows computers or...

Pay attention, Microsoft.I do not use Apple computers because I want nobody but myself to have complete and total control of my computer.

SHAME on Microsoft! Copilot should be OPTIONAL!!!!

Hi,

The Windows Copilot is an in-built feature, that's why it can't be uninstalled like a regular app. The only options to permanently disable this feature is via Group Policy or Registry Editor. To remove copilot via group policy editor, please follow these steps: Press Windows key + R to open Run dialog box, then type gpedit.msc and press OK to open Local Group Policy Editor. Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Copilot. Expand the Windows Copilot folder and from the right panel, double-click Turn off Windows Copilot. In the next window, check the Enabled option and then click Apply > OK to save the changes.

P.S. Please note that this community is just a user-to-user forum and we don't work for Microsoft. If you have any suggestions or feedback about this new feature, you can submit it via the Feedback hub app. Thank you.

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!

 

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