    Isn’t Copilot integrated with the Windows taskbar search?

    I think the sole reason Copilot is used at all is because they’ve forced it in applications it has no place in, and requires it remain on by default.

      I have never liked having a search box in the taskbar. My taskbar is for pinned programs, open programs, volume, Ethernet/wifi, and a clock. Nothing more.

      You can remove copilot from windows 11 completely now…with an outside program.

        I love having a search box on my taskbar. I want it to search my PC for installed apps and files and nothing else. I certainly don’t want to do a fucking Bing search for “Settings”

          It seems like a waste of space on the taskbar, to me

          In the Start Menu/Finder/KRunner/wofi I want it to search, but I don’t need the text input box visible at all times taking space

          yeah, I actually like it now, but that’s mostly because they made the start menu so fucked up and full of shit

          I’ve adjusted to just hitting start and typing the first few characters of what I want to open and slapping enter. I’m okay with that process, I actually kind of like it. I don’t need to look at what’s going on and I don’t need to move my hand over to the mouse. The only problem, and this is kind of a big thing, is that yeah it doesn’t search just my fucking installed programs, and sometimes it just opens another program that doesn’t even match what I typed. so the 60% success rate at best is kind of a big failure

      The original Copilot is GitHub Copilot which is a coding assistant and it’s very popular and useful for developers. I think most of the paying copilot customers and usage are coming from there.
