    So we have finally got to the willy waving have we... Oh Joy... And of course it's someone who doesn't use social media but isn't afraid to "call it as is" on a forum. Just like the good old days.

    Well, some of us were working on comms and computers (and acoustic couplers) while you were at your first school and yes we know what you said... Only; people who have to go on about like that, well, *Yawn*.

    For those like me just looking for the answer to the question. Please follow the walk-through in TomsGuide, the first link below. First, it needs to be disabled for the taskbar. Next turn CoPilot off via a specific group policy. The group policy is named something like "Turn off CoPilot" so make sure you are Enabling the policy to turn on the policy which shuts off CoPilot. Microsoft being intentionally difficult here IMHO...

    If gpedit.msc does not launch, it needs to be manually added to the operating system using command prompt as an admin. Super easy, follow the seconds link below to add group policy editor then go back to TomsGuide. There are two separate commands listed in the GPEdit link. Don't try and run all 4 lines at once, it's two separate commands. Turns out Microsoft decided home users don't get gpedit by default. FYI, GPEdit is now part of "Microsoft Management Console".

    Took me all of 5 minutes after I found the articles. I don't know if this is for a specific user or for the entire machine. More knowledgeable people on here can figure that out. Hope this helps.

    I misunderstood the question. I thought the OP wanted to know how to turn it off, not which one is better and why the user should make different choices because in your world view AI is all that and a bag of chips. I especially liked when Chap-GPT said to add glue to PC to keep the cheese from slipping off and my personal favorite (again from your preferred AI) was to eat rocks and gravel to increase the minerals in your diet.
