How do I get rid of Copilot?

I don't know what happened other than my computer was unplugged and I plugged it back in. Poor design on the part of the manufacturer. The plug in the back of the machine should be very secure.

But apparently there was some sort of update because the computer got turned off. And something popped up suggesting Bing could do this or do that. Anyway, there is a logo at the bottom of the screen that is distracting and I'd like to get rid of it. Maybe that's all I need to do.

So far Copilot has not made another appearance, nor does it seem to running anywhere on my PC.

Good luck

    All the governmental concern with Tik Tok should spur concern with Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc... I'm slowly migrating to Linux to get away from all this "We Own You" mentality.

    All that does is remove the button, it's still there.
    This was installed without user intervention and we have no way to remove it.
    The next update, it's back, the next user that logs on, it's back.
    Hidden is not uninstalled.
    Microsoft should be ashamed that they ever install anything without active, informed consent on a computer.
    Or are you going to try and say that Spotify is necessary for the safe operation of Microsoft?
