Disable Copilot AI on Windows 11 (2024)

In Windows 11, you can disable Copilot entirely. This guide will show you how. Copilot is the AI-powered feature available since version 23H2. Simply put, it's a new digital assistant (replacing Cortana) that can answer questions in natural language, summarize content, change system settings, perform actions, and seamlessly connect between your favorite apps.

While it's a handy feature, it's not for everyone. If you're one of those people who doesn't need it, Windows 11 gives you several ways to disable Copilot entirely via the Group Policy Editor, the Registry, and the open-source ViveTool. If you don't want to disable the feature, remove the Copilot button from the taskbar instead.

Starting with Windows 11 24H2 and later versions, Copilot will become an app that can be easily uninstalled from the Settings app like any other app. As a result, the Copilot setting will no longer be available from the Taskbar Settings app and the icon will no longer appear in the taskbar.
