Windows 10: Uninstalling CoPilot

A couple of days ago without asking my permission Windows 10 installed something called Copilot - and AFAICT it's impossible to uninstall. I found at least half a dozen sites with instructions for uninstalling but none of them worked. In fact if I open Control Panel here, it doesn't even show up in the list of installed apps.I also found this web site with instructions for creating a special registry key. The regkey wouldn't uninstall Copilot but would supposedly disable it - which it doesn't - instead, it causes Copilot to create some weird looking menu bar at the RHS of my screen.How on ea

:)

 

None of the methods to disable Copilot work, can't even hide it

I suggest you post your question in the tutorial thread to find out if Brink or the other tutorial participants can help you Enable or Disable Copilot - TenForumsTutorials Best of luck, Denis

1. On the right-side pane, double-click the 'Turn off Windows Copilot' policy.

1. To re-enable Windows Copilot, follow the same steps and select 'Not configured' or 'Disabled'. Then, click 'Apply' and 'OK'.
   

If the Copilot button is visible in the taskbar, it will disappear after you apply the policy. You do not need to restart your computer or enforce the Group Policies. The Copilot option will also disappear from the Settings app.

 

Uninstalling CoPilot - How?

Hi there,

I have my HTC touch pro2 now and it has a CoPilot 7 trial version which i want to uninstall(i haven't activated it). But the problem is that it doesn't show on "Add Remove...". There is a folder called "CoPilot" which is removable but how to manually clean
up the registry entries after that? I want it completely removed from my smartphone!

Thanks in advance.
