Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not everyone wants ai stuff on their pc, especially I believe most of the powerusers

Describe the solution you'd like Toggle for copilot

I guess these can be helpful for implementation https://github.com/Atlas-OS/Atlas/tree/main/src/playbook/Executables/AtlasDesktop/4.%20Optional%20Tweaks/Windows%20Copilot

extra: old context menu (right click) toggle can also be implemented, because the modern one is just oversimplified and unintuitive imo: https://github.com/Atlas-OS/Atlas/tree/main/src/playbook/Executables/AtlasDesktop/4.%20Optional%20Tweaks/Windows%2011%20Context%20Menu

I agree with this. I just closed my browser and found 1/3 of my screen taken up with Copilot (my guess is Edge updated itself in the background and then ran Copilot). I had to go to the Group Policy Editor to turn the thing off.

That already is in the toolbox in the tweaks section.

This can be added to disable Copilot from Taskbar:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" -Name "ShowCopilotButton" -Type "DWord" -Value "0"

Disable Copilot system-wide:

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot" -Name "TurnOffWindowsCopilot" -Type "DWord" -Value "1"

Unfortunately I only found a group policy method for disabling Copilot system-wide, hopefully Microsoft adds a bonafide setting in the future.

I am working on removing Copilot, PR coming soon it will completely uninstall Copilot not just unpin.

is it safe to do the classic right click menu?

Yes it is.
