I want to remove Copilot from Windows 11. Completely. I dont want it disabled so it conveniently comes back with the next update. I want it gone. I am tired of microsoft telling me what I want on the machine I own.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

    1. Press Windows + R > type gpedit.msc and hit Enter
    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

    Hi,

    This worked for me - I didn't have to enable to first disable - just went straight to disable, it's a crying shame after hours of messing around with the UI this is the only way I could find to turn it off..

    Thanks again though!

    Hi Brad. Yours is the "BEST" Comment Ever put down in the English language. I have be fighting all of the changes to mey computer software forever. Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and many other companies think every human being on the planet is stupid. They may be right about the 5% human population, but the remaining 95% of us are not "STUPID!".

    In no uncertain terms, I do not want what they think I want, and I do not use what they want me to use!

    There should be a Congressional or Senate hearing or an aggravation of the American Citizens committee that can look into this matter. Co-Pilot, and other products may be beneficial for an industry or business use standard, but for everyday folks who use their computer outside of business, I beg to differ with their opinion over this matter.

    But, thank you Brad. Yours was the best answer on this platform.
