      WOW!!  Had no idea.  Not even sure how I got it in the first place.  You are terrific … and so is this website and forum.  I will try (hard) to not take any more of y9ur time.

      hmmm.  Got it … I think.  To  remove Copilot … not just one reg edit or?  It needs to be removed in separate ‘blocks’??

       

      Sorry, last question.  Big difference between removing and blocking.  Thought I was removing.  No?  Last question …. I promise.  Thank you so much.

      As I mentioned .. the thread is saturated.

      I assume you mean:

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

      Thought I saw something about truncated.  If not please give full key.  (I am disabled)
      Then I assume I follow all the instructions you give for manipulating that key.  As far as regedit versions, About Regedit gives the W10 version screen and all 3 machines are the SAME.

      My GREATEST apologies but I am not sure what this means:

      Use the registry link above and then review the list below.

      • Blocking Copilot in Windows 10 and 11 in Home SKU
      • Blocking Copilot in Edge – right side only
      • Blocking Copilot in Windows 10 and 11 Professional SKU
      • Blocking Copilot in Microsoft 365

      Greetings one and all.  Joined this forum just now.  Excellent thread but a lot of comments which get pretty confusing.  Hoping someone will summerize in a reply.

      2 machines W10 Pro v. 22H2 build 19045.4598

      1 Machine W10 Home v. 22H2 build 19045.4598 WITH GPEDIT patched in.
      (I thought Pro vs Home had different versions).  Guess not(??)

      Hoping to get a summarized proc. to REMOVE Copilot.  Any hope of that??  Thanks to anyone for any help.
