    I hate this wording choise, that “Turn off windows copilot” - Enabled, actually means that copilot is disabled. Confusing and unintuitive. It should say just “windows Copilot: Enabled/Disabled”. Why is MS like this?

    By the time I typed out “how to disable” auto correct guessed “copilot” was the next word. Clever girl.

    Wait until millions realize they have Windows home and don’t have group policy editor

      That’s a good point:

      Disable copilot via regedit

      [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot] “TurnOffWindowsCopilot”=dword:00000001

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot] “TurnOffWindowsCopilot”=dword:00000001

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge] “HubsSidebarEnabled”=dword:00000000

      [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer] “DisableSearchBoxSuggestions”=dword:00000001

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer] “DisableSearchBoxSuggestions”=dword:00000001

      Reenable copilot via regedit

      [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot] “TurnOffWindowsCopilot”=-

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot] “TurnOffWindowsCopilot”=-

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge] “HubsSidebarEnabled”=-

      [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer] “DisableSearchBoxSuggestions”=-

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer] “DisableSearchBoxSuggestions”=-
