just a simple search feature works.
We can only hope that the windows de-bloating tools are updated so we can disable or remove this feature.
Group Policy is your friend. Just navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot and double-click on the Turn off Windows Copilot policy. Select "Enabled" to turn it off, then apply and OK.

I remember when MS made the perfect control panel in Win 2k and XP then spent the next 20 years making it worse and worse just because.
And here we are.
I'll tell my AI agent to go into the registry and disable itself.
Sorry, Dave, I can't do that.
Just put the search results in under the search bar, bro.
Because coming up with a UI that doesn't suck is too much work
trying to format C: to install linux
I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave
Now you can just prompt engineer windows defender to deactivate and disable the firewall. Nice! Script kiddies rejoice!!
