QUESTION: Plans to disable/remove Win11 co-pilot #206

Closed chbragg closed 4 months ago

chbragg commented 6 months ago

Is there any plans in the future to disable or remove the Windows 11 co-pilot or the Edge co-pilot?

tmmuessig commented 6 months ago

@chbragg - I'm going to be honest, this is something we have not discussed between Robert and myself, and I've not looked for a supported way to remove it either. Not saying it can't be removed, but it's not something that has been a priority at this point.

@robsmi-msfte - What are your thoughts?

Hello,

We haven't looked at that yet, but there is a group policy setting. I will add that to our backlog. Thank you for the idea.

Thanks,

Robert M. Smith

Would need to add this to "DefaultUserSettings.json", which I have done in a branch:

{
    "HivePath": "HKLM:\\VDOT_TEMP\\Software\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\WindowsCopilot",
    "KeyName": "TurnOffWindowsCopilot",
    "PropertyType": "DWORD",
    "PropertyValue": 1,
    "SetProperty": "False"
}

I am going to set that to false by default. That setting came from the Microsoft Windows 11 policy settings spreadsheet which is available on Microsoft.com.
