I put Macrium on my shop PCs because their disc image works when the Microsoft disc image fails.

I saw instructions that said right click and toggle off Copilot button. Right click did not get me to a Copilot button. There is no Copilot button on my taskbar anywhere. What turned it off was to...

A bad HDD most certainly do this. Unplug everything but drive "C." then plug drives back in one at a time. I have seen this more than once.

More than once I have seen this caused by a failing HDD. It can be a secondary HDD, not necessarily the one with the operating system. Unplug everything but drive "C" and see what happens. Then do...

Every MB I have ever seen has pins you bridge to reset bios. Perhaps there are no pins if there is a button. I have removed the battery and not always achieved a proper reset like jumping the pins.

Did not work on my laptop. Installed it twice and each time it took 15+ to load everything. Had to uninstall and run system restore to make laptop usable again. Blocking updates for 35 days.

It is a laptop so not quite that simple to just throw a new SSD in there. A new drive with clean install would not really prove what the problem is. Could be a weird bug in the update somehow...

So you can upgrade the bios without a working CPU? Not sure I understand. In any case, if I but a MB and CPU I make sure the MB has a bios to support the CPU or I use an old CPU.

THANKS! That got rid of the icon. I looked all over and never saw that suggested, so again THANKS. If I had my way I would uninstall the program but I will settle for hiding it.

SSD and it gets optimized regularly. Freespace available: approximately 65%. Yes something is different on my laptop compared to the person who reported no problem with the update. There have...

I have not quite those numbers but quite a few years and quite a few PC and laptops and I agree totally.

I got the PNG no problem just didn't see where to add it to the post. Will do in a while.

So what you are telling me is the update does not cause failure 100% of the time. That doesn't mean much because not very many updates are that bad! Why this particular update is a problem with my...

Nothing that has anything to do with copilot.

For some reason I cannot drag a screenshot in here.
Here is this, however in regedit. ...

I found a few places that offered reg files to download and merge. I also edited directly. There is no relevant registry key until you attempt to disable through the registry.

Nothing.

Yes I rebooted.

The reg files do nothing. Copilot is not in the list of things you can turn on or off with the policy editor. Believe me, I tried before posting this complaint.

After installing it my laptop was taking about 15 minutes to fully load everything. Normally takes about 10-12 seconds. I immediately uninstalled the update but that did not solve the problem...

I have seen on the internet: Go to options where you can toggle it off. Those options do not exist at this time.

Turn it off in gpedit. That option does not exist at this time.

It makes a wi-fi connection to the router but that is at the other end off the house and signal a little weak here. My laptop connects to wi-fi at my friend's house. My phone and my wife's phone...

And you can buy a key all day long for under $20 from Kinguin or any other such vendor. There is nothing wrong with these keys all though some will try to scare you or guilt trip you about using...

Correct. Hardware problem.

I would not assume it has to be Windows 11. In fact I highly doubt that it is.

I just ignore it and use the default browser of my choice which is Firefox. Edge is not causing me any problems at all. I think you are going a little over the top to call it a virus and speculate...
