Microsoft Bing

Only workaround for now is uninstalling the app via settings > apps > installed apps by searching for 'Bing' and then reinstalling from the Microsoft store searching for 'web search'. That worked for me.

Two possible options exist, depending on how thorough you want to be.

Firstly it is possible to disable copilot by creating a couple of registry entries. I have created a .reg file to add these registry entries, it is as follows:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot]
"TurnOffWindowsCopilot"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot]
"TurnOffWindowsCopilot"=dword:00000001

This is documented all over the web, just search for "Disable Windows Copilot" and all sorts of references to these registry entries will show up.

Secondly there is also a "take off and nuke the entire site from orbit" option. I just recently worked this out for myself, based on information I'd found regarding the removal of other unwanted aps that couldn't be removed via the "apps" page of Settings.

Disclaimer. I have only done this to one system of mine so far, and it has not yet been extensively tested to determine if anything will break as a result. Use at your own risk.

Open a powershell console as administrator and type the following:

get-appxpackage *copilot*

Notice that it prints details of the Windows AI Copilot Provider. If you then type:

get-appxpackage *copilot* | remove-appxpackage

This will cause the Copilot AppxPackage to be removed from your system. Typing the first command again will now produce no output.
