How to Completely Uninstall Copilot from Windows 11

Microsoft Copilot is integrated into Windows 11, but if you want to completely remove it rather than just disabling it, follow these steps:

To prevent Copilot from running, you can modify the Windows Registry:
– Right-click the Start button and select Terminal.
– Copy and paste the following command and press Enter:
reg add HKCUSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsCopilot /v TurnOffWindowsCopilot /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
– Once successful, sign out and sign back into your account to apply the changes.

2. Uninstall Copilot Using PowerShell
While Windows doesn’t provide a direct uninstall option for Copilot, you can attempt to remove its components using PowerShell:
– Open PowerShell as Administrator.
– Run the following command:
Get-AppxPackage *MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS* | Remove-AppxPackage
– Restart your computer.

3. Remove Copilot from Taskbar
Even after disabling or uninstalling, the Copilot icon may still appear on the taskbar:
– Open Settings (Windows + I).
– Go to Personalization > Taskbar.
– Locate Copilot and turn the toggle off.

Re-enabling Copilot
If you ever want to restore Copilot, enter this command in Terminal:
reg delete HKCUSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsCopilot /f
Then sign out and sign back in.

Following these steps should help you fully remove or disable Copilot from Windows 11.
