Windows 10: Disable Copilot PERMANENTLY

B Griffin_987 · Feb 23, 2024

I've tried every fix I've found to disable copilot in Windows 10, and several have worked temporarily, but the next day it's back on. What is causing this , and how do I stop it? My next step is to stop using anything Microsoft.

How do I disable Copilot and all Other AI functionality in Windows 11 HOME edition

I want to fully disable (or preferably remove) Copilot and all other AI functionality in Windows 11 Home Edition. This question may belong under another topic; I just guessed at Settings.

See the bottom of this post for system information. Below are specific questions related to the details of disabling Copilot and AI functionality. I have not been able to find any of this information on any Microsoft resources; perhaps I missed something?.

Disabling Copilot in Windows 11 Home Edition: Please note that I am running Windows 11 Home edition - not Pro, Enterprise, etc., where I could solve the problem with group policies or other administrative options. The Windows Update setting "Get the latest updates" is turned on, so I am running Copilot Preview.

Copilot Taskbar Button: I have hidden Copilot on the taskbar, but that is obviously not the same as disabling Copilot or other AI functionality.

Disabling Copilot via Registry: There are instructions on various websites for disabling Copilot by editing the registry; I would appreciate details about how to do that, as long as the necessary edits are reasonably safe and reliable.

Disabling all AI functionality: How centralized is AI functionality in Windows 11? Does disabling Copilot disable AI functionality across all Windows 11 built-in features, as well as Microsoft desktop apps? Or has AI metastasized across the entire Windows ecosystem, requiring a constant game of whack-a-mole to disable everywhere?

Thanks in advance for any help.

SHAME on Microsoft! Copilot should be OPTIONAL!!!!

Hi,

The Windows Copilot is an in-built feature, that's why it can't be uninstalled like a regular app. The only options to permanently disable this feature is via Group Policy or Registry Editor. To remove copilot via group policy editor, please follow these steps: Press Windows key + R to open Run dialog box, then type gpedit.msc and press OK to open Local Group Policy Editor. Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Copilot. Expand the Windows Copilot folder and from the right panel, double-click Turn off Windows Copilot. In the next window, check the Enabled option and then click Apply > OK to save the changes.

P.S. Please note that this community is just a user-to-user forum and we don't work for Microsoft. If you have any suggestions or feedback about this new feature, you can submit it via the Feedback hub app. Thank you.

Microsoft 365 Copilot is coming to OneNote

We are thrilled to announce that the Microsoft 365 Copilot is coming to OneNote. This powerful tool combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with your data from the Microsoft Graph—notes, calendars, emails, chats, documents, meetings, and more—and the Microsoft 365 apps to turn your words into a powerful productivity tool. All of this is done within our existing commitments to data security and privacy in the enterprise. We know that too much time is spent on the mundane tasks of work and not enough time is spent on the work that brings us joy and ignites our creativity. That's why Copilot is being integrated directly into OneNote. It works with you, embedded in the other Microsoft 365 apps you use daily to help you unlock productivity, unleash creativity, and uplevel your skills.

Uplevel your digital notebook with natural language commands to reorganize your notebook, adjust formatting, and highlight what's important. Here are some example commands and prompts you can try:
