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.

    After you have disabled everything you can, install uBlock Origin and then use the dropper tool to remove those parts of the web page you don't want to see. I removed the copilot button and the deep search button/dialog. It looks clean now.

    Backup your data, wipe the disk, install some variant of Linux (Ubuntu is my preference) and install Chrome. And NEVER use anything Microsoft again.

    If only there was a decent replacement for Office...

    I've done this, as directed by Copilot itself. The toggle to "show copilot" was turned off and every time I log on, Edge pops up displaying an unhelpful copilot page and obscuring the work I actually want to accomplish.

    And now I have to waste time searching for a solution.

    Why can't we remove Copilot from Edge / Windows ?

    Because for a while now, Windows has stopped being an OS and has become an AS... an Advertising System.

    Understand this: AI is not for you. It's to help big corp make up adverts that are going to be so good, you're gonna go "That's what I was looking for!"

    So if MS makes it possible to remove the imbedded AI out of Windows... their whole business model goes down the drain.

    I know... I work for a big corp... and I fix broken Windows all day long.

    I mean... Wha d'ya think? That Windows ain't a cash cow? That the following "services" aren't paid services?

    It is not a joke people! For a home computer, linux is a viable alternative. Download whatever Linux distribution (flavor) you like the name of, set it up on a USB drive and run it. It won't affect your Windows' installation.

    P. -S. Microsoft, If your " clients' " thinking has reached that point...
