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

Help please.

    I think that is a bit unfair, I've been computer industry watching for the past 40 odd years - as my job - and if there was ever a phrase that defines the industry's attitude to the user it's 'suck it up'. I truly sympathise that you are going to feel 'watched over' as these new technologies arrive, but arrive they will.

    I totally agree with fighting it (I'm only here cos I'm looking for a way to disable copilot - possibly even more smug that that bloody paperclip) but you need to realise that it’s going to be *your* time used fighting it.

    Like others here, I have no desire to offend but I'm afraid it's not condescending to explain that this is going to happen, either get used to it or put in the effort to ameliorate it. I'm very sorry if that sounds harsh - but what "we" want doesn't really come into it, what "they" put into their systems that we buy is what we are going to get.

    And no, I'm not saying that is good or even OK.

    Cheers

    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.

    How do you uninstall Edge? I thought that was impossible.
