Copilot_banner.png

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the Windows Copilot feature on the taskbar for all or specific users in Windows 11 and Windows 10.

Microsoft introduced Windows Copilot for Windows 11 back in May 2023 at the Build conference.

Starting with Windows 11 build 23493 (Dev), build 22631.2129 (Beta), and build 25982 (Canary), Microsoft is offering an early look of Windows Copilot to Windows Insiders. This first preview focuses on our integrated UI experience, with additional functionality coming down the road in future previews.

After installing Windows 10 build 19045.3754, Windows Insiders in Release Preview with eligible devices running Windows 10, version 22H2 who are interested in experiencing Copilot in Windows as soon as possible when Microsoft begins rolling it out in the near future, can choose to do so by turning on Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available and Check for updates. This will be a phased launch via controlled feature rollout (CFR) over the coming months. Windows 10 Pro edition devices on version 22H2 that are managed by organizations will not be included in the initial rollout of Copilot in Windows. Windows 10 Enterprise and Education edition devices on version 22H2 will also not be included in the initial rollout of Copilot in Windows.

Windows Copilot will use the same Microsoft account (MSA) or Azure Active Directory (AAD) account used to sign-in to Windows.

Windows Copilot will appear as a side bar docked to the right where it won’t overlap with your desktop content and will run unobstructed alongside your open app windows, allowing you to interact with Windows Copilot anytime you need.

A preview of Copilot in Windows will start rolling out with the next wave of continuous innovation in Windows 11 version 22H2 KB5030310 Build 22621.2361 on September 26, 2023. Copilot in Windows adds AI to your Windows 11 experience to help you find answers, complete tasks, and be more productive. With Copilot, people can quickly make sense of long articles on the web, craft and polish content, or create stunning images--all directly within the Windows 11 experience.

Starting with Windows 11 build 22631.2787 (RP), you can ask Copilot in Windows for help ten times when you sign in to Windows using a local account. After that, you must sign in using a verified account. These include a Microsoft account (MSA) and Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Note that the name for Azure AD will change to Microsoft Entra ID.

Just to note, while you can enable gpedit in the Home edition, it will not actually apply any policy settings from it. You will still have to use the registry to configure policies in the Home edition. :(

Just to note, it requires a restart to apply the disable REG file.

Afterwards, you could press Win+C to try and open Copilot to verify.

Just to note, while you can enable gpedit in the Home edition, it will not actually apply any policy settings from it. You will still have to use the registry to configure policies in the Home edition. :(

I have one machine (that I don't use much) that has Home 11 on it so I used gpedit to shut off Copilot.
So far, Copilot is still off (for all users including admin) according to the policy setting I configured for it yesterday.

Hi Brink, :)

Am I confused or shouldn't the REG files be adding the WindowsCopilot key under the Windows key for All Users here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

As the REG files are set now, it seems they are only for the Current User and not All Users, right?

Just Checking so I'm clear on what the REG files are doing. :wink:

Hello LadyV, :alien:

This specific policy needs to be set in both the HKCU and HKLM locations in the registry for it to be applied to all users.

Hello Notna, and welcome. :alien:

Usually when disabled by policy, the policy will prevent it from being enabled again.

However, it has been known for updates to sometimes reset things back to default.
