How to Turn Off or Disable Windows Copilot Using Group Policy

How to Turn Off Copilot in Windows 11 Using Group Policy
Seeking to disable the Windows Copilot feature on your Windows 11 PC? This comprehensive video guide walks you through the procedure using Group Policy. Ideal for users of Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise, and Education.

### Step 1: Open Group Policy Editor
1. Press `Windows + R` key to open the Run dialog box.

### Step 2: Navigate to the Copilot Policy Setting
1. In the Group Policy Editor, navigate to the following path:

User Configuration , Administrative Templates , Windows Components , Windows Copilot

### Step 3: Configure and Apply the Policy
1. On the right pane, find and double-click on the policy setting named "Turn off Windows Copilot".
2. In the new window, select "Enabled" to disable Windows Copilot feature.
3. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the new policy setting.

Once you've changed the policy to "Enabled", Windows Copilot feature will be disabled for the users on the device or throughout the network (depending on the scope of the Group Policy).

If you want to re-enable the Windows Copilot feature in the future, follow the same steps and change the setting in Step 3 to "Not Configured" or "Disabled". Remember that Group Policy changes might take some time to propagate, or you can force the update by running `gpupdate /force` in the Command Prompt.

this is wonderful if you want to go machine by machine, however the option is not under Group Policy Management Editor to push to my machines on the network.

I do not see this as an option, what does that mean?

unfortunately this simply reoves the icon form the taskbar and not the start menu.
