Remove Microsoft Copilot Using Policy

-

 



Overview

The RemoveMicrosoftCopilotApp policy allows IT administrators to uninstall the built‑in Microsoft Copilot app from Windows devices in a controlled way.
The goal is to provide one unified Copilot experience, typically Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Requirements

This policy applies only when all of the following are true:

  • Microsoft 365 Copilot is installed
  • Microsoft Copilot was not installed by the user
  • Microsoft Copilot has not been launched in the last 28 days
  • Windows 11 version 25H2 with KB5083769 or later
  • Supported editions: Pro, Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise

Policy Paths (CSP)

You can configure the policy either per user or per device:

User scope

./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/WindowsAI/RemoveMicrosoftCopilotApp

Device scope

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/WindowsAI/RemoveMicrosoftCopilotApp

Configuration

  • Format: Integer
  • Allowed values:
    • 0 – Removal disabled
    • 1 – Removal enabled

When set to 1, the Microsoft Copilot app is uninstalled automatically.
Users can still reinstall Copilot manually if they choose.

Group Policy Mapping

  • Policy name: RemoveMicrosoftCopilotApp
  • Path:
    Windows AI > Windows Components > Windows AI

Result

✅ Microsoft Copilot app is removed
✅ Microsoft 365 Copilot remains available
✅ Cleaner and more consistent user experience

On every policy sync, Intune checks the detection rule defined for the app. If the detection rule still reports the app as “installed” — even though you removed it — Intune will skip reinstallation . 🔧 Step-by-Step Guide 1️⃣ Uninstall the App F...
