Hi Jean Greene, thanks for posting your question.

Totally understand where you're coming from. If Copilot isn’t your thing, there are a couple of ways to remove or disable it depending on how it’s installed on your system.

First, try going to Settings, then Apps, and then Installed apps. Look for Microsoft Copilot in the list. If it’s there, click the three dots next to it and choose Uninstall. That should remove it from your system.

Second, if you don’t see it listed there, it might be built into Windows as a system feature. In that case, you can disable it using the Registry Editor. Here’s how:

Press the Windows key and R at the same time, type regedit, and hit Enter.

Navigate to this location:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

Right-click the Windows folder, choose New, then Key, and name it WindowsCopilot.

Inside that new key, create a DWORD (32-bit) Value called TurnOffWindowsCopilot.

Set its value to 1, close the Registry Editor, and restart your PC.

That should hide Copilot from your taskbar and prevent it from launching.

If you found the response helpful feel free to mark my answer as helpful/accepted, it might make it easier for others to find the solution too.

Best,
Carl
