Solved Trying to revert changes on registry

StickyBanana · Aug 25, 2025

Hello,

Recently I tried to make some changes on registry using this command

Powershell:

New-Item -Path "HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows" -Name "WindowsCopilot" -Force; New-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot" -Name "TurnOffWindowsCopilot" -Value 1 -PropertyType DWord -Force

may I ask what does this command do? does it safe? and is there a way to revert what this command do or can I just delete the key created using this command?

That would be all, thank you :).

So did you run the command or not? If your goal is to remove Copilot then just uninstall it or if you right click on the systray Icon for it you can choose quit, You also can use REVO uninstaller to remove it.

Did it work? if so then it is safe. It can always be re - installed from the MS Store.

To be honest I don't know its working or not, because I did uninstall copilot before running this command, but the language bar on taskbar keep showing every restart even I set it to hidden. Does this command only create registry key? Or does it do something else too beside creating key? if so, can I just delete it to revert the changes it made?

The Language Bar?? I do not have a Language bar. Open up task manger and stop it from running. or disable it. I hope that you made some sort of backup or a restore point before you did this. Also a Registry Backup.

Hello,

That command disables Copilot using group policy like in option three below. You can use step 2 in option 3 to undo it.

Hello,
Which means the command is safe right? and may I ask how do I revert it? Can I just go to regedit and delete the key that created using the command?

It's a safe command, but really no need to use it since you uninstalled the Copilot app.

You could manually delete the key to undo it, or use step 2 in option 3 below to undo it for you with a REG file.

None of this is related to the language bar though.

Thank you Brink, I have some more questions if you don't mind:
1. I created a key manually like "AllowTelemetry", does deleting it will revert the changes too?
2. I did tried used O&O shut up before but it seems like broke some things, then I do the system restore to revert the changes, does system restore enough to revert all the changes O&O shut up made?

Q1) The "AllowTelemetry" DWORD is usually for the Diagnostic Data setting below.

This tutorial will show you how to change diagnostic data settings to either disable or send required or optional diagnostic data to Microsoft about your Windows 11 PC. Microsoft uses diagnostic data to keep Windows secure and up to date, troubleshoot problems, and make product improvements as...

Q2) If the restore point is dated before the changes were made, it should be able to undo them.

Do yourself a favour and never run commands you don’t understand. Always use Brinks tutorials.
