    I think I am really going enjoy this new feature in Windows. Enjoy laughing at Microsoft’s absurdity while using the latest new and actually useful features in Mint 22.3, that is.

        Woah, Arch users scares me, the way you meet someone that is much taller!

        How is your time so far with the new OS? Lots of new things and issues?

        Bazzite, all night. I’ll fortune to transition towards Linux but I still need the sad, commercial and technical predictability of Windows for some time longer.

    How to disable Copilot

    For Pro, Enterprise, or Education users

    Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter. Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot. Double-click “Turn off Windows Copilot,” select “Enabled,” then click Apply and OK. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

    For Home users

    Home users without access to the Group Policy Editor can disable Copilot via the Windows Registry. Press Windows + R, type regedit, and press Enter. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows. Create a new key named WindowsCopilot if it does not exist. Inside this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value named TurnOffWindowsCopilot and set its value to 1. Restart your computer to apply the change.

    Microsoft did this with Internet Explorer and Windows 98; they make IE the shell for file explorer so as to ensure IE could never be removed.

    Yeah, I know. Install Linux.

    I’ll do that when every single gaming title works flawlessly on it and not a second before.

    Until then, I’ll utilize whatever workaround the community comes up with to strip this shit out of File Explorer.

    P.S. Many games still don’t work on Linux. https://areweanticheatyet.com/
