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

    I agree with your comments about MS.

    However, the instructions you give for turning off Copilot are widespread on the internet and provide NO relief from the issue. Your instructions simply remove the Copilot BUTTON from the taskbar, but fail to remove the infestation itself.

    all I'm saying is to ask before you implement....do yo see how many people want to get rid of this?

    AND...it's not easy for those of us that are older and not computer literate....and if you do feel the need to FORCE this on people

    make it east to get rid of

    that's all

    Thank You Very Much
