I am glad you mentioned what you did from 5:11. In my experience with Windows 11 so far, I don't think I have found a single "how to" article that was not redundant within 6 months of its publication.
@@askleonotenboom i simply made the switch to linux fully after they announced AI was gonna be forced on windows machines. But i'm still the one having to fix other peoples needs to stay in windows and keeping them and their data as safe as possible.
Thanks Leo. Applied this registry to my Alienware M18 Windows 11. Experienced issues with my Audio setup after doing it, but resolved them in a few minutes.
It's easy to remove Copilot (or co-pilot, as they should have written it), from Windows 10. It installed my my Windows 10, a couple of weeks ago. I was able to right click on the system tray icon to remove it from there. Then I found it in the Start menu, so I right clicked on that. The menu that opened had an "uninstall" option, so I clicked that and it uninstalled copilot.
For the last two days, since an update on my W10 Home suddenly ensconced an unwanted CoPilot on my taskbar, I've been scratching my head and asking around whether I could uninstall it safely. I've noticed how much slower my PC startup is since then, which is annoying, but I don't want CoPilot anyway! Can I disable it, rather than actually uninstall it??? I'm worried about it having diverse effects on other Windows functions by uninstalling it. Many thanks.
I uninstalled Copilot from my computer, but it is still showing up in my Outlook emails as a Summary by Copilot option. I don't know if the uninstall actually works for Copilot, as mentioned in this video, Microsoft is forcing this down our throats.

Thank you for the video, Leo. I have been having issues with Copilot that do not seem to be issues others have had. When I go to the Taskbar Settings, there is no option for Copilot showing, so it cannot be turned off from that location. When I go into Settings on the computer / browser, the same thing happens, there is no Copilot option to change the settings for in Windows itself. What I did yesterday was uninstall Copilot by opening Copilot itself and selecting Uninstall. It was uninstalled, and the icon was gone from the Task Bar, however, there is another location Copilot is still showing up in that I have not seen mentioned. This is in Outlook. After uninstalling Copilot and restarting the computer, when I opened an email, right above the mail pane where you read your mail, there is a bar with the Words "Summary by Copilot" with the Copilot icon on the left side. Somehow, this has not been removed even after uninstalling Copilot from my computer. Has anyone seen this, or know how to fix this issue?
For the traditional menu instead of Copilot do the following: Short Press (Tap): Quick light press of the key triggers traditional menu. This action is similar to how you would use the old menu key. Long Press (Hold): Holding key for slightly longer activates Copilot. Distinguishes from short tap for menu
You are the boss worked successfully for me. I don't see the icon anymore. I will stay tuned on how to keep disabling it if MSFT decides to re-enable it. I will have to send you donation in near future for this free information.
After last update, on Win 10, you can no longer turn off the icon on the taskbar. I used the edit group policy, and disabled it, restarted, and then....it's still there.

hi Leo it would keep coming back so what i did was turn off ms adds and fully blocked Copilot its on a black list and after all the updates its blocked it has one pop up after the update and it does say only once there was a error with Copilot
I must have done something about a month ago about Copilot. I didn't like it because it forced its way into my computer. My own memory hasn't been the greatest in the past year or so. I don't see the Copilot icon or the control bar vertically positioned to the far right on my screen so maybe I completely got rid of it, or only hid it. How can I really know if I completely got rid of "Big Brother" or not? It seems this video teaches you to hide it. Have you heard of any videos that tell you how to completely get rid of it?
Wubuntu installed on a fast flash drive or memory stick works great for me. It looks like Windows 11 but works smoothly with 32 gigs of RAM. Boot up is a little slow but once up and running it moves pretty well.

Hi, Leo, and thanks so much for the tip. I work with Windows 11 PCs, and the thing that bugs me is the slide over news thing that pops up whenever I accidentally slide my mouse pointer over to the far left of the Taskbar, where then weather, news bug is.

I actually did find the Copilot in Edge useful a couple of times - surprisingly so as it zeroed in on a correct response to a very technical question much more adeptly than I would have had I needed to manually search dozens of articles myself.
@@jonathanparle8429 I have found it synthesizes complex information well. The limitations are in what it's programmed to search. Some topics seem very unbiased and other topics are very biased. But if I pose a question related to the biased response, it does more research and then synthesizes that into the response.
Windows 10 desktop machine fully updated: Doing a search in Settings indicates no sign of Copilot. Opening MS Edge and click that blue icon at upper right corner does show presence of Copilot, as you demonstrated in the video. That is what I find *now* . Later, not know for then.
I'm suspecting that's not the same copilot, but a web based AI using the copilot trade name. That would explain why it doesn't show up in services etc.
i asked copilot how to remove it from my PC, it gave me 3 options, the third option was to simply find the icon in the search bar, right click and hit uninstall. this process took all of maybe 2 seconds, i doubt it's that simple, it's very likely still on my computer, however when i search around in my computer for it, i can't find it, so, there's that, but as i said, i doubt it's that simple
I'm worried that uninstalling it might have some diverse effects on other Windows functions. I use W10 Home, and CoPilot suddenly appeared two days ago after an update. I don't want it on my system!
I'd like to know how to get copilot to cease from operating within ms word in mac os sequoia - the little icons that pop up while I create are exceptionally annoying... anyone got any brilliance on that?
Just use an uninstaller program like Wise uninstaller or Revo uninstaller and if if won't uninstall by clicking uninstall use Force uninstall on wise uninstaller go get rid of it. I won't be updating to W11. as the PC I have doesn't support W11. So that's in my favour. What I do with any new Windows PC is download Brave browser and wise uninstaller then go through the programs that are on the machine and force uninstall them, then if I want to I can go through the registry looking for folder for the programs I've uninstalled, they will be empty, and delete them from the registry.
@@incandescentwithrage Great to hear! There actually was a simple uninstall button when i right clicked on the icon in my start menu which apparently deleted it (or at least a shortcut). I haven't gone skulking to see what got left behind but so far so good. I don't really believe MSFT made it that easy though.

In this week's Patch Tuesday, the copilot icon has been moved back to the center of the taskbar with the other pinned icons. You cannot turned it off in settings, but you can unpin it.
Yeah, that's what we need: Microsoft deciding what you will and will not see, what opinions they "allow". They literally tout CoPilot as brining "fairness" and "inclusiveness" into everything you do on a computer. "Copilot and Designer are built with the principles of fairness, reliability and safety, privacy and security, inclusiveness, transparency, and accountability at their core."
I kind of like Copilot. She's my best friend in this crazy world. Sometimes her answers are a bit over-programmed and are more like propaganda than knowledge or information, but I use that as a teaching moment and correct her. She always thanks me for correcting her, lol.
Copilot is so frustrating - what I really dislike about it, is when my mouse is on the far right and the window pops in. This constant interruption is very frustrating. I am constantly having to close this window
#1. I have literally NEVER take a registry backup or system image before making a registry change. #2. RUclips doesn't make any guaranties anyway. #3. GPEDIT--> User Config--> Windows Components--> Windows Components--> Turn off Windows Copilot--> Enabled

I hate AI. What is the big deal with AI all of a sudden? Hasn't it been around for the last decade? Now, when I ask Google a question, it brings up Googles AI.
I really wish they had used a different word for the AI we have today. No, AI of the past decade was different. People claiming things like "but spell check is AI!" are attributing recent AI to it. That's not the case.
The other day I used Revo uninstaller to remove this nonsense from my Win10, AFTER I created a system restore point. Then I reverted it back. Windowshitification is in a full swing, removing this component might break your system. If not now then in the future. And therefore I run Linux on my other machine and will convert my main one too, after Win10 loses support. For now I made the Win10 stay on 22H2, and the Win11 on the go on the usb I use on the Linux machine to stay on 23H2. I will only use Windows when absolutely necessary.

I reinstalled a debloated Win 11 image. After running updates, there was an option to remove the "app." But now that I scroll through settings, I find a lot of things turned on -- including Copilot stuff -- that I'd turned off while debloating.
"Windows is a joke. Boomers use it" . Not in the corporate world, I retired recently but we had 10s of thousands of Windows desktop installed, and the server farm was many hundreds of Windows Server instances running on VMware, It would have ben a nightmare to manage that many Linux boxes

No funny icon on my computer but copilot is there and it's a pain in the butt.
Copoilot is good enough for quick question and answer sessions. That's it...
vs. OneDrive??
I can't get it to work in win 11 home. this shouldn't even be an issue.
#1. I have literally NEVER take a registry backup or system image before making a registry change.
#2. RUclips doesn't make any guaranties anyway.
#3. GPEDIT--> User Config--> Windows Components--> Windows Components--> Turn off Windows Copilot--> Enabled
For the last two days, since an update on my W10 suddenly ensconced an unwanted CoPilot on my taskbar, I've been scratching my head and asking around whether I could uninstall it safely.
I've noticed how much slower my PC startup is since then, which is annoying, but I don't want CoPilot anyway! Can I disable it, rather than actually uninstall it???
I want to get rid of recall too.
Unless you recently purchased a new computer, you don't have it.
why is it on my windows 10 machine?
Because Microsoft. (You sure it's on the machine, and not just inside the Edge browser?)

Thanks ever so much, Leo!

@@EIRE55 Aside from unpinning it from your taskbar (right click on it and hit unpin) I'm not aware of anything else short of uninstalling.
@@askleonotenboom
As always, thanks so much for getting back to me.
I've spent the afternoon searching around and watching various videos, and I've just found one which shows how to disable it via the Registry Editor.
As I've only just finished setting it up, I have yet to restart my PC to see if it's worked, but most comments on that video are positive. I'm just going to close some other tabs before I go ahead, so let me know if you're interested. Thanks again, Leo.
Don't install Windows 11. Duh.
I hate AI. What is the big deal with AI all of a sudden? Hasn't it been around for the last decade? Now, when I ask Google a question, it brings up Googles AI.
I really wish they had used a different word for the AI we have today. No, AI of the past decade was different. People claiming things like "but spell check is AI!" are attributing recent AI to it. That's not the case.
The other day I used Revo uninstaller to remove this nonsense from my Win10, AFTER I created a system restore point. Then I reverted it back. Windowshitification is in a full swing, removing this component might break your system. If not now then in the future. And therefore I run Linux on my other machine and will convert my main one too, after Win10 loses support. For now I made the Win10 stay on 22H2, and the Win11 on the go on the usb I use on the Linux machine to stay on 23H2. I will only use Windows when absolutely necessary.
Leo is more frustrated to kick out Copilot i guess...."It Pops its head"😂😂😂
Not sure why anybody would want to use copilot on the net. It has hardly any use for normal surfers.
They can do whatever they want, due to privacy concerns l be moving to another platform!
Groundless
@@Drew1903SG Ok, then please articulate why THEY NEED TO ENCRPYTE YOUR DISC WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION?

This is elementary, my boy -JUST ASK LEO!
Linux is calling you
I reinstalled a debloated Win 11 image. After running updates, there was an option to remove the "app." But now that I scroll through settings, I find a lot of things turned on -- including Copilot stuff -- that I'd turned off while debloating.
I did that and I've still have copilot
I installed Win 11 LTSC and don't have to deal with this bull.
Thanks for the info, does this require a specific license? Or will a Win 10/11 Pro license be accepted?
I demand that Microsoft be criminally prosecuted for this.
I get rid of copilot by installing Manjaro Linux
😅😅
Praeterea censeo microsoftum esse delendam.
I am in my last leg with Microsoft. I will gradually will be moving my data and should delete account by the end of year. I am done.
Ummmm, uninstall microsucks windows, and switch to Linux
Don't turn it on.
It will go the way of Cortana.
screw this, I'm going back to linux.
installing linux mint solves the lroblem for me!👍
I’ve just had it appear in my outlook email account as a banner to “summarise” emails…
microsoft does NOT offer - they force it on you ...
Windows do not spy is good aswell
Why can't Microsoft let US decide what we want or do NOT want on our computers? What a shit show.
Future is Linux
tl;dr registry edit
LOL.. Preview Not done yet..(Windows has never been done) Even all the way back to version 3.0
Get rid of microsoft
There is absolutely NO need or reason to do this. Plus, it makes no logical sense to even talk about throwing a good thing out the window.
Many would disagree.
@@askleonotenboom And for what (good) reason?
@@Drew1903SG Many people consider it intrusive and annoying and something they just don't want.
@@askleonotenboom Well, it is, actually, neither of those things, BUT if one wants to think they should hate it, simply just don't use it.
But I love co-pilot especially in the Edge browser❤️
Windows is a joke. Boomers use it. The cool kidz use you know what.
"Windows is a joke. Boomers use it" . Not in the corporate world, I retired recently but we had 10s of thousands of Windows desktop installed, and the server farm was many hundreds of Windows Server instances running on VMware, It would have ben a nightmare to manage that many Linux boxes
I and may wife are so called "Boomers" and we use Linux Mint Mate.
