Hi, which edition of Windows are you running? Home? And which version?

High, which edition of Windows are you running? Home? And which version?

Windows 11 home 23H2, sorry for not specifying

It may not be possible to "disable it proper way" in Home version as TurnOffWindowsCopilot group policy will not be supported. It should work on pro editions.

There can be more "hacky" way to disable it. I'm open to suggestions.

Hello again, i changed my PC from home to pro, but copilot is still enabled after restart, what do i do?

Thank you for information. This should not be happening.

I guess you run the script on W11 pro. Could you share a screenshot of copilot you see?

i have manually turned off copilot from the group policy editor, and now it works, i am not sure what the issue was with the script

This will resolve the issue with editions without GPO support:

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "DisabledHotkeys" /t "REG_SZ" /d "C" /f

After this restart your explorer:

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe & start explorer

I will add this to next patch.
