6 Ways to Remove Copilot App from Windows 11

This guide focuses on removing the Microsoft Copilot app (consumer experience) from Windows 11 and covers both end-user removal and enterprise-safe removal. There are multiple ways to remove or uninstall the Copilot app from Windows devices. If you are managing Windows 11 devices through Intune and the devices are updated to the latest feature update (25H2 or later), you can use a Settings Catalog policy called Remove default Microsoft Store packages from system. From there, select the Copilot app and assign the policy to the target devices. Another approach is to prevent users from launching the Copilot app while keeping it installed. This can be achieved by using AppLocker or App Control for Business.

Consumer vs. Commercial Copilot

• Microsoft Copilot app (consumer): does not support Microsoft Entra sign-in. If a user tries to sign in with Entra, they are redirected to Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat (https://m365.cloud.microsoft/chat) in their default browser. The screenshot below shows the screen you will get when you try to sign in with your organization account on the consumer version of Copilot app.

• Microsoft 365 Copilot app (commercial entry point): used for Entra authenticated users (separate app/experience).

Method 1: Remove Copilot from Start menu (right-click)

This is the simplest “user action” path when the app is installed for that user. Open Start and search for the Copilot app, then right-click on it and select Uninstall. Use this method when you have a few devices or to manually validate the uninstall method.

Method 2: Remove Copilot App from Settings (Installed Apps)

You can also use this method to remove the Copilot app from Windows 11 devices. This method uses the settings app and removes the app from the installed apps list.
