I work in IT and I try to remove all clues that copilot exists when I set up new computers because I don't trust users to not fuck up their devices.
I start off with Win10Privacy (which also cleans 11) and then follow up with Win11Debloat. The two work pretty well.
What happens when there are new updates that re-enable copilot?
I disable that shit the next time I'm in the computer. We also manage the updates so users can't run them on their own.
