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

Better or worse?
It's worse, so it's going the way of the Zune, the Windows phone, and Clippy.
Microsoft needs to deliver clean, concise interface that helps people get their work done. Not more ads in the start menu and telemetry data collection points.
If it's worse I'm not going to waste my time with it.
I do wonder how many dollars and man-hours are wasted uninstalling and disabling things Microsoft pushes
Speaking of wasting time. I'm done with this thread
I use my PC for confidential private work for my profession. So "get used to it" is a bit condescending and just narrow minded.
No doubt! I have tried numerous ways to disable copilot. Here it is tax season and I am wasting my time fighting with Microsoft to protect my clients' data. This is absolutely insane. MS is taking no steps for those of us that work with sensitive personal information. I even downloaded some anti-spy software that is supposed to block copilot, but it appears MS has found a work around. This is all so rapey LOL

As for windows Copilot, and other installed non-essentials, there is a way possible way to "actually" remove Copilot permanently from W10 and W11, as I have done this to remove Edge, and a few other items from older builds of W11. I haven't gotten around to trying this with the latest build, but there is a few tools out there that allow for de bloating windows ISO files, so by the time you install Windows, if you don't want Edge, it wont be there, and any other pesky non-essentials that you don't want.
It takes some time (and patience) to do, but with my older installs, it has been worth it.
Go to 11 forums, and search "remove preinstalled apps from base image", or some other variations of this, and try some of the suggested apps that others have mentioned.
Best wishes, and I hope this helps.
