In the latest version of Windows 11, Copilot is installed and enabled by default. You can open it by clicking on the Copilot icon on the taskbar or by pressing the Windows key + C shortcut. If you like to use Copilot then it’s great to have. However, if you don’t use it, you can either disable or uninstall Copilot.
Unlike the previous versions where you can only disable Copilot, with the new update, you can now uninstall Copilot from the Installed Apps page in Settings. In this tutorial, I will show the simplest way to uninstall Copilot on Windows 11. Let’s get started.
