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.

Microsoft Edge | Tabs, address bar, and search | Windows 11

    Why Microsoft wants you to go through these useless procedures to remove copilot when they don't want you to do that is beyond me. all of my settings are turned off for copilot and it still appears when I search.

    Is there a way to verbally talk to someone from Microsoft support in order to remove Copilot from my PC? The regedit method and the group policy does not work for Windows 10 Pro. I want this off my PC.

    The Group Policy (and the corresponding changes it makes to the register, only gets copilot to not show up in some places of windows outside the edge Browser.

    It still appears in the edge browser even with a bunch of different things recommended by various people Sidebar disabled check, etc.

    I don't use bing normally and ditto for Edge. But their a few things I use that don't appear to work in Firefox (my default) or Chrome.

    Unfortunately that works for pro versions but the home version of Windows doesn't have the gpedit.msc available. So you have to go online and find a god-awful batch file and run that hoping the creator doesn't screw up your machine. :-( I think some of the frustration on this question from posters is that they likely have the home version and with CoPilot now part and parcel of Windows 11 - we are sort of screwed on turning it off. I find it very intrusive and seldom useful - and OFTEN inaccurate. It's the fact that we are given NO CHOICE by Microsoft (and I'm a fan of the big M) that is frustrating. Thank you for responding though. Your instructions should work for those who have or want to take the time to load gpedit.msc.
