9000001 Blocking Copilot in Windows 10 and 11 Home sku
Info to enable/disable Copilot in Windows
To block Microsoft’s AI in Windows 10 and 11 Home sku’s we will use a series of registry keys OR we can turn it off in the GUI.
At this time it’s only dribbling out in North America and certain other countries. It will not be in the EU at this time.
On Windows 11, you can enable Copilot through the Settings app or the Registry after installing the update KB5031455, KB5027397 (23H2 feature release) or any later November or later updates to your Windows 11 system.
If the icon has shown up down in your system tray you can turn it on or off by performing the following steps in settings on Windows 11:
Open Settings on Windows 11.
Click on Personalization.
Click the Taskbar tab.
Turn on (or OFF) the Copilot toggle switch.
Alternatively use the following registry key:
Open Start.
Search for regedit and click the top result to open the Registry.
Navigate to the following path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Double-click the ShowCopilotButton DWORD and set its value to 1 to enable the feature.
To disable copilot Use the following:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
‘[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot]
“TurnOffWindowsCopilot”=dword:00000001`
‘[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot]
“TurnOffWindowsCopilot”=dword:00000001`
To make it easier
Here is the registry key to disable Copilot in Windows
Simply click on the link above and approve the UAC prompt to install it on your system.
If at a later date you want to reenable it, click on this registry key file.
Disable/Enable Copilot in Edge
There is a second Copilot that you may wish to also disable.
Note that if you do not have a Microsoft account or use Edge as your default browser, Copilot won’t have any control over your system so it’s up to you if you want to perform this next step if you always use Chrome or Firefox as your default browser.
Open Edge and click on the main 3-dots menu button on the toolbar and select Settings.
Click on Sidebar tab or section in the left-side pane of Settings page.
Under App and notification settings section, click on Copilot option.
You can also turn off the “Always show sidebar” toggle switch
Turn off Let Copilot use content from Microsoft Edge.
Users can modify this permission by going to Microsoft Edge click on the three dots and then Settings > Sidebar > App and notification settings > App specific settings > Copilot and then turning on or off the ‘Allow Microsoft to access page content’ toggle.
