Windows 10: Why does my AI Copilot appear like this, not from the side like the others?

I just bought a new laptop, initially I updated windows to version 23h2. But after restarting my AI Copilot looks like this, not showing from the side. Is there a way to fix it?

:)

 

I feel like you cant escape copilot anywhere.

In Windows 11 (or maybe 10), Microsoft Edge, and any other program that has copilot VERY FORCEFULLY Inegrated with Microsoft apps. I feel like I can't escape copilot, like they even made a WHOLE OS off of copilot! "COPILOT+PC!!!" In Microsoft Edge Copilot is in the context menu, sidebar, Bing Search, and the start page. Or in Windows 11 Copilot is in the taskbar, Search, Like. ITS SO ANNOYING!!! Can Microsoft chill out with copilot?? Like Microsoft is making Copilot a freaking god, ITS JUST AN AI! Please, For the love of god, make a switch to turn off COPILOT!! Gosh, Oh and don't get me started on "CoPiLoT+pC!!", It's a Copilot Privacy Mess, like even WINDOWS 11 24H2 Will NEED You to have a "CoPiLot+pC" to have most of THEIR features. Make it stop and do good stuff with your OS and don't force ai on us, at least add a switch to disable all of this trash, like make a section in settings called "AI", make everything like copilot in the "AI" Section, and add a button at the top saying "Enable/Disable AI in Windows" So your customers are happy! Oh, and yeah, I'm not spending 500$ and more for a trash Copilot+PC. I don't want forced AI on my system.

 

How do I disable Copilot and all Other AI functionality in Windows 11 HOME edition

I want to fully disable (or preferably remove) Copilot and all other AI functionality in Windows 11 Home Edition. This question may belong under another topic; I just guessed at Settings.



See the bottom of this post for system information. Below are specific questions related to the details of disabling Copilot and AI functionality. I have not been able to find any of this information on any Microsoft resources; perhaps I missed something?.

• Disabling Copilot in Windows 11 Home Edition: Please note that I am running Windows 11 Home edition - not Pro, Enterprise, etc., where I could solve the problem with group policies or other administrative options. The Windows Update setting "Get the latest updates" is turned on, so I am running Copilot Preview.
  

• Copilot Taskbar Button: I have hidden Copilot on the taskbar, but that is obviously not the same as disabling Copilot or other AI functionality.
  

• Disabling Copilot via Registry: There are instructions on various websites for disabling Copilot by editing the registry; I would appreciate details about how to do that, as long as the necessary edits are reasonably safe and reliable.
  

• Disabling all AI functionality: How centralized is AI functionality in Windows 11? Does disabling Copilot disable AI functionality across all Windows 11 built-in features, as well as Microsoft desktop apps? Or has AI metastasized across the entire Windows ecosystem, requiring a constant game of whack-a-mole to disable everywhere?
  

Thanks in advance for any help.
