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

Question

I've tried the recommended steps for creating then setting the value for WindowsCopilot to 1, but the AI functions still return.

Help please.

Answer 1

Well it's a bit jury rigged, but you could make yourself a service that runs every 5 minutes, checks to see if edge is running in the background and closes it.

Answer 2

Awesome! This is the best answer. Using GPEDIT did the trick quite nicely. Forget the registry hack.

Answer 3

Bottom line...the only way to fight it is to stop buying it. There are so many things "shoved down our throats" that we don't like or agree with, yet we continue to buy the items that do this.

Myself included!

Answer 4

First make sure that all Edge processes have ended, enter the Edge installation directory and remove the files.

Answer 5

I would love to switch to a Linux distro, but the applications that my clients need to use aren't supported on that platform. We are held hostage by this. I think that Microsoft just needs to provide an option for turning it off on Pro or Enterprise licenses. I wonder if it will change when someone's information is compromised by this and a class action lawsuit is filed...
