I've tried the recommended steps for creating then setting the value for WindowsCopilot to 1, but the AI functions still return.

Help please.

    It disabled it for me on the desktop which is what I care about. You can always uninstall Edge and use one of the other 5 or 6 popular browsers out there.

    We're going to need a way (whether it's a registry key in HKLM, or some other way) to turn this off for all users, not just the current logged on user.

    I added the registry key (in HKCU) to a Windows 11 Pro 23H2 VM, then restarted. After logging in, I was still able to launch CoPilot in Edge, and have CoPilot write a joke. So, the registry key does not disable CoPilot, certainly not in Edge.

    The latest update to Edge apparently still shows Microsoft AI is poised and ready for action.

    Hi Emily,

    I made the registry change as you instructed and after restarting my computer, the A.I. component did not appear to be loaded.

    However, the minute I logged into my Microsoft account in order to reply to you, the A.I. component reappeared. See the screen capture below.

    Other thoughts?
