    Even if you could completely remove it 100% ... how do you know it won't be reinstalled with the next update? Since Microsoft owns Windows, they get to decide what goes into Windows. And since you own your computer, you get to decide what goes into your computer. If you don't approve of what Microsoft puts into Windows, you can get rid of Windows. (And plenty of people do that.) But you can't tell Microsoft what to put into their own product.

    However, you can tell Microsoft exactly what you think of their product: Use the Feedback Hub.

    Hi, JohnathanAgius. My name is Ivan, and I am an Independent Assessor. I'd be more than happy to assist you. I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this issue. Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to help you.

    Unfortunately, you won't be able to uninstall it as it's a core part of the OS. What it does allow is to disable it.

    1. Open Settings > System > Copilot.

    Toggle the Copilot switch to the "Off" position.

    1. Open Settings > Apps > Optional features.

    Look for features related to Copilot, AI or machine learning and uninstall them.

    You can find other options at the following link.

    2. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot
    3. Turn off Windows Copilot > Chose the enabled option (confusingly to "enable" the disable
