Copilot_banner.webp

This tutorial will show you how to add or remove the "Ask Copilot" context menu item for your account or all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Starting with Copilot app version 1.25044.93.0, "Ask Copilot" is added to the context menu.

The Ask Copilot context menu item is available when you right click or shift + right click on one or more files.

When you click on the "Ask Copilot" context menu item, it will open the Copilot app with the file(s) uploaded (copied) to Copilot so you can chat and ask about the file(s) with Copilot.

If you don't want this Ask Copilot item in the context menu, it can be removed without having to uninstall the Copilot app.

Hello mate, :alien:

I just tested again, but it still works for me in build 26300.8068 (Dev).

Just to confirm:

If changes are not applied immediately, then either restart explorer process, sign out and sign in, or restart the computer to apply.

I did that and also tried a bat file from :

Code: 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked] "{CB3B0003-8088-4EDE-8769-8B354AB2FF8C}"=""

It'll be interesting to hear from others using the same build.

Did you test the all users version?

Probably because as of this morning Co-Pilot appears to be web based now vs stand alone and part of MS Edge now. Yesterday it was a stand alone app.

I had used the standalone yesterday but all three of my machines converted this morning and the one without a Co-Pilot button no longer opens with the alt-spacebar short cut any longer. Found this link which seems to confirms the switch.

Microsoft appears to be dumping native Copilot for Windows 11 in favour of web wrapper yet again
