Microsoft may soon allow IT admins to uninstall Copilot

Microsoft is testing a new policy that allows IT administrators to uninstall the AI-powered Copilot digital assistant on managed devices. The new RemoveMicrosoftCopilotApp policy began rolling out today to systems in the Dev and Beta Insider channels that have installed Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26220.7535 (KB5072046). As the Windows Insider team explained in a blog post, Copilot will be uninstalled after the policy is enabled on endpoints managed via Microsoft Intune or System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM). The new policy will apply to devices where Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Copilot are both installed, the Microsoft Copilot app was not installed by the user, and the app was not launched in the last 28 days.
