RemoveMicrosoftCopilotApp
Description
This policy setting allows you to uninstall Microsoft Copilot for users in a targeted way. It will apply to devices/users that meet the below conditions: • Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Copilot are both installed • The Microsoft Copilot app was not installed by the user • The Microsoft Copilot app was not launched in the last 28 days If this policy is enabled, the Microsoft Copilot app will be uninstalled. Users can still re-install if they choose to.
Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
