Sorry, Dave, I can't do that.
We can only hope that the windows de-bloating tools are updated so we can disable or remove this feature.
Group Policy is your friend. Just navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot and double-click on the Turn off Windows Copilot policy. Select "Enabled" to turn it off, then apply and OK.

Thanks Microsoft for admitting that Wimdows sucks. You didn't even try really.

Linux click network applet in most desktop environments. Even MacOS option + click network icon
Windows XP's UI philosophy was great: one could always find what they needed within a two-clicks distance. Everything just went downhill after that. If they ever fix Windows, it will probably look a lot like XP again.

Magic creates a need for wizards
linux time.
How much would setting the main registry file to read-only break on Windows 11? Someone may be about to attempt the experiment . . .
When I was a child I actually learnt quite a bit about my computer by reading all the settings of Windows XP and customizing them.
I hope this doesn’t prevent someone from the next generation to do the same thing…
It will. It's already happening with phones. Younger people know nothing about how computers work.
Hey Windows, set my taskbar to run vertically along the left side of my screen. 🖕
