Additional policies
ComponentUpdatesEnabled
Enable component updates in Microsoft Copilot
Supported versions for ComponentUpdatesEnabled
On Windows and macOS since 152 or later
Description for ComponentUpdatesEnabled
If you enable or don't configure this policy, component updates are enabled in Microsoft Copilot.
If you disable this policy or set it to false, component updates are disabled for all components in Microsoft Copilot.
However, some components are exempt from this policy. This includes any component that doesn't contain executable code, doesn't significantly alter the behavior of the browser, or that's critical for security. That is, updates that are deemed "critical for security" are still applied even if you disable this policy.
Examples of such components include the certificate revocation lists and security lists like tracking prevention lists.
Disabling this policy can potentially prevent the Microsoft Copilot developers from providing critical security fixes in a timely manner and is thus not recommended.
