If you’re using Enterprise on a personal machine, you’ve messed something up. There are other ways beyond Group Policy in that environment that are probably causing what you’re seeing. SCCM, Intune, Policies over the network vs local… that significantly raises the chances of something else stepping on your local Group Policies.
I’ve not had that problem on either of my Win 10 Pro machines when using Group Policy to disable things, over the last four years.
It’s too easy for them to turn back on without me realizing it, and I’m not going to tolerate having to be that vigilant against something, my own computer, which has absolutely no reason to be hostile to me.
And you can’t afford to fuck this one up. Microsoft Recall isn’t just a virus, it’s worse than just about any other virus. “Did you forget to double check Microsoft’s bullshit on the wrong day lol enjoy your keylogger”
Until they lobby to get laws changed, many companies have legal requirements regarding PII that mean serious fines if CoPilot or Recall ever turn on in their environment (and if they’re caught of course).
Windows is not going to fuck this up and force this on, handing easy legal wins against them to the world. They will have the normal configuration options available that they always do for features with potential legal liability attached.
Did you miss the recent security blunder with Government security and Microsoft? They didn’t want to tell governments of a secuirty hole in case it meant lowers sales.
And you can skip most of the bullshit by setting up Windows using English UK instead of English USA (and then you can adjust your regional settings and keyboard however you prefer)
You guys do realize that you can remove copilot from Windows 11 with a simple regedit or group policy editor tweak, right? Takes like 10 seconds…
The amount of times that windows “features” come back after I disable them via GPO on Windows 10 Entrerprise tells me that this isn’t true.
The irony that setting up Windows now requires more command line use than Linux in 2024.

For now, until MS locks that downvlike they have with other things

yah, i have linux on all my devices save one and ive found ways to get win11 to just work without the bullshit.
it just takes about as much effort to learn systemd syntax because everything became the systemd singularity.
Is copilot regionalised? I’m in NZ and have been running Windows 11 for a year or so, and have never seen copilot appear.
