Fuck Microsoft, here's how to get rid of Copilot completely from your computer 🧵 (1/4)

Settings App > Personalization > Taskbar > Other System Tray Icons > Switch "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" Off This hides Copilot from your taskbar

Then, Press Win + R > Type in "regedit" > Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows" > Right-click on the "Windows" Key > New > Key > Name the new key "WindowsCopilot" > Right-click on the new key > New > DWORD (32-bit) Value 👇👇👇

> Name the value "TurnOffWindowsCopilot" > Double-click the name of the value > Set the "Value Data" to 1 > Restart your computer Congrats! Copilot is now completely gone from your computer. Hope this helps

(Also, if it wasn't obvious, go to your Start Menu, right-click on "Copilot" and "Microsoft 365 Copilot", and uninstall both the apps) :-)

Why did this blow up lmao uhh follow me plz Im cool but I don’t really talk about tech often so don’t follow me for that

ok so apparently this is just undone every update and not an actual solution but uhh. dont tell anyone shhh

@stuartwith2ts No but this way you can’t get sued

@Burry543 Install linux

@Burry543 Is this for 10 or 11

@Burry543 ALSO if ur pc has a copilot button, you can disable it via powertoys. I kept opening copilot on accident because it's next to my left arrow key, but ever since remapping it I haven't been opening copilot on accident anymore

@polskatalia YES thank you for reminding me of that

@Burry543 Is this advice only for w11? Or are they applicable to w10 as well?

@sinforryu W10 should work as well though it may be a little different

@Burry543 Any way to get rid of this little annoyance?

@IHHYHTOFOL Nope As far as I can tell thats stuck there (Although pressing it doesnt actually do anything)

@Burry543 Step 1/1 install Linux

@Burry543 1/1 - sell your lame ass gamer pc and get a linux or mac laptop.

@Burry543 Even more simpler: Just open Command Prompt then run this command: reg add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot /v TurnOffWindowsCopilot /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

@Burry543 @grok how do you get rid of windows on your computer

@Burry543 Better option: Install Windows 11 IoT LTSC version. No AI slop, come only with Edge and Notepad preinstalled, not even Windows store. Everything you need you can setup from 0. Most performant and stable windows version. Also supported with security updates longer.

@Burry543 People who complain about copilot while refusing to try any other alternative to windows have no reason to worry about anything. Just keep on playing whatever online game you are playing and relax.

@Burry543 a simpler way to get rid of copilot: f?cking sell your window laptop and buy a Mac!!

@Burry543 @grok tell him how he can most easily install linux.

@Burry543 Easiest way is to install Linux* *I hate Linux but I'm going to it.

@Burry543 Now they are force installing Copilot to even use basic apps.

@Burry543 Finally!
