I know I have to turn this shit off every time, and I even have a program that reverts my settings in one click. But I still forget every damn "security update" until I notice that fucking copilot is on again. I will never, ever find it acceptable for my changes to be reverted on a regular basis. When any other program fails to keep my settings, it's a bug and it's a bad enough one that I usually don't use the software. But Microsoft keeps doing it on purpose and it absolutely infuriates me that there isn't more of a backlash.
I really wish I could get more of my stuff working in Linux to make a complete switch. I don't even need all of it; I'll give some stuff up.
To turn off Copilot via Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot. Double-click "Turn off Windows Copilot," set it to Enabled, and restart your computer.
It will never toggle back on.
I'll give that a shot, thank you! That will alleviate the latest, greatest annoyance at least.
I'll still have to run OOSU10 for like three dozen other settings I can't even remember, but that's never going to change. It shouldn't be that hard just to keep your settings.
I really do appreciate the tip, though. I will enjoy having copilot fuck off forever.
It's a mess of proprietary software and drivers. Some of it I hopefully can get working, it'll just take time. I've had a friend suggest a windows VM before, so I'll definitely look into Quickemu and see how much I can manage. I swear one day I shall be free!
