4 Different Ways to Uninstall Copilot from Your Windows PC

Now let’s dive into the 4 different solutions on how you can uninstall Copilot effectively and completely.

1: Remove it Completely through the Group Policy Editor or The Registry Editor

Either the Group Policy Editor or the Registry Editor allows you to completely disable the functionality, allowing you to save up system resources. Windows 11, although only in the Pro, Enterprise, or Education versions, has the Group Policy Editor.

For Group Policy Editor:

• Just put “gpedit.msc” into the search box and press ‘Enter’ if you’re running one of them.

• Get to the “Windows Components” menu, then go to “User Configuration”, “Administrative Templates”, and “Windows Copilot”.

• Select “Enabled” after double-clicking the policy named “Turn off Windows Copilot”.
• Select “OK” after clicking “Apply”.

• Put the modification into effect by restarting your computer.

For Registry Editor:

• Just put “regedit” into the search field and click ‘Enter’ to deactivate Copilo

• Go to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot. 
• This key has to be created if it isn’t already there. Grab the Windows key and right-click on it.
• Then, choose “New” > “Key”.

• Refer to this as “WindowsCopilot”.
• Find the “WindowsCopilot” key, right-click on it, and then choose “New” > “DWORD (32-bit) Value”.

• Given the name TurnOffWindowsCopilot, do it. Simply double-click it and enter “1”.

After that, choose “OK”.

• The modifications will be applied after you restart your computer.

2: Utilize Power Solution Viewer

To access the managed solutions of your agent-facing copilot solution, go to the “Power Apps solution viewer” and click on the “Managed” tab.

Several options related to the copilot are shown to you. One thing to keep in mind is that unpublished updates and changes to the agent-facing copilot lead to layers that cannot be maintained. Before erasing the solution, remove the unmanaged layers.

• Choose the “Default” solution from the Power Apps solution page’s “Unmanaged” tab. Within the copilot subcomponent, locate the subject where you made the prior adjustments. Find and choose “Advanced” from the menu. Locate the solution layers and remove those that aren’t under management.

• Next, find any solutions mentioning ‘Service Copilot’ in any of the copilot’s documentation, such as Service Copilot Service Now, Salesforce, or Zendesk.
• Find the name of each knowledge source and click on it.

• On the command bar, click “Delete”. Review and approve the deletion. Processes of deletion are complete in a matter of minutes. Remove, one by one, all of the copilot’s answers linked to their knowledge sources.

• To activate Service Copilot and Agent Copilot Base, you must first select and then remove the ‘Base components’. After you remove them, your copilot will no longer be an issue. Returning to Copilot for Service will allow you to create a fresh copilot that will interact with agents.

3: Hide it from the Taskbar

You may deactivate Copilot by hiding it from the taskbar, which is the simplest method to enable it. In order to do this, right-click on the icon that represents Copilot on the taskbar and deactivate the option that says “Show Copilot button”. The button for Copilot will be removed from the taskbar as a result of this action. However, you will still be able to access Copilot by hitting the shortcut key ‘Windows + C’. 

4: Remove ViveTool’s Copilot Feature on Windows 11

Here are the procedures to deactivate Copilot on Windows 11 using the ViveTool:

• Visit the “GitHub” website.
• To deactivate the Copilot, download the “ViVeTool-v0.3.3.zip” file.

• To open the zip folder in File Explorer, just double-click on it.
• Pick “Extract all” and then click “OK”.
• Save the directory’s address in a copy.
• Launch the program.
• Find “Command Prompt” in the search results, right-click on the first result, and choose “Run as administrator”.
• Press ‘Enter’ after entering the following command to open the ViveTools folder.

• Move the current directory to the location where the ViveTool-v0.x.x program is located. Verify that you have replaced the folder’s path with your own in the command.

• On the Taskbar, type the following command “cd c:\folder\path\ViveTool-v0.x.x” and hit ‘Enter’ to deactivate the Copilot. The following items cannot be disabled: vivetool, 44776738, 44850061, 42105254, 41655236.

• Log off and back on again. Copilot on Windows 11 will be disabled when you finish the procedures.
