Microsoft is testing a new policy that enables IT administrators to uninstall the Copilot digital assistant on managed devices running Windows 11. This policy, known as RemoveMicrosoftCopilotApp, is being rolled out to systems in the Dev and Beta Insider channels with the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview build. Users will need their admin's cooperation to fully remove Copilot, which has been pre-installed since 2023.
