Hi, actual Windows System Engineer here. Both the "Microsoft Copilot" and the "Microsoft Copilot 365"(previously Office Hub) apps have been removable by group policy or Intune configuration policy since mid last year. Previous to that they were also still able to be remove by running the Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage as a start up script, or remediation script. Fun fact, a lot of those "Debloater" acripts are running this command because the massive amount of engineering work done since Windows 7 to make Windows Components modular.

This is a non article.
