Windows Office Hours: September 28, 2023

Thanks hroes for your interest in Copilot in Windows! First, a couple of specific resources in our official product documentation on Microsoft Learn to help you: 

• Manage Copilot in Windows - Windows Client Management | Microsoft Learn - the current home for this topic. To be honest, a bit light right now, but it provides info on the CSP and group policy to Turn off Copilot in Windows.
• Enterprise feature control in Windows 11 - What's new in Windows | Microsoft Learn - info on controlling features of Windows 11, and what specific features are under temporary or permanent control.

The short answer for Copilot is to use the first policy to turn it off for appropriate groups of users. Because it's under permanent control, then it will apply for both 22H2 and 23H2.

Things would get more interesting if you weren't using that policy for some reason, but aren't allowing temporary feature control, and then upgrade to 23H2. If necessary, I can go down that road to explain.

I'm not aware of any "licensing" aspects that apply here at this time. Can you share the link of the source that stated a licensing option and that it will be enabled for everyone? (I have an idea of what you're referring to, but don't want to assume!)
