How to completely remove Copilot from Edge?

I've already disabled Copilot in the sidebar. I've toggled off "Chat response on result page" in the search settings. I want the Copilot AI disabled from the search result page, preventing automatic chatboxes on searches, and not activating when scrolling to the top of the results page.

    Thanks, but this does not remove it from your PC, even after this it still shows up in edge on searches.

    Very annoying, in addition FYI, eg; Chat GPT either it lies or makes things up I have found (I asked for best books and authors to use for research on specific topic, it spat out book titles or authors who do not exist!!!!) , sure this AI "copilot" will do and probably does the same in my opinion, is bit Like google search gives answers from companies that probably pay to make them top of the search or to what "they say" is most relevant that fits what they/it want you to know/think. Not what you ask for but what/where they want you think/buy from. Plus sites you may visit, from what you look at/how long and then respond to because its AI, probably (in my opinion) is profiling your every move in order to take (sorry MAKE) more money from us and from the info side left face it, its a control mechanism (in my opinion) .

    IF its news you search for, again (in my opinion) it then may direct you to somewhere depending on the politics, to spin the event to what ever they/it want you to believe happened. I dont want nor need an AI to decide whats best for me. That being said - The Bing image creation AI is great, and I will use it when I want to use it. Microsoft built in AI into windows to direct potentially your thoughts to what ever direction they want you to go (in my opinion) to information it decides is correct, and not (in my opinion) what was asked for.

    Yes. But when I tell you how, it will not be long before Microsoft does something about it.

    Run PowerShell in Admin mode the run the below command.

    Get-AppxPackage *Copilot* | Remove-AppxPackage

    Reboot.

    You will probably have to do this after each set of patches.

    Turning it off in GPO does not work. It still appears in the Edge search bar and searches

    Give up. There is no way to exclude it. Microsoft needs us using it in order to feed their feeble AI baby.

    It doesn't work to remove from Edge, just your computer.
