Okay this made me turn off copilot. Here is the registry stuff to disable it:
Step 1: Open Run and type regedit to enter Registry Editor.
Step 2: Please go to this path from the left panel.
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
Step 3: Right-click on the Windows folder to choose New > Key and rename this new key to WindowsCopilot.
create a WindowsCopilot key
Step 4: Select this WindowsCopilot key and right-click on the space from the right panel to choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Step 5: Then rename this newly-added value to TurnOffWindowsCopilot and double-click on it to change its Value data to 1.
Then you can click OK to save it, close the window, and reboot your PC to check if you have uninstalled Copilot from Windows 11.

False. Anti-libre software, Windows, bans us from proving its claims.
