Disable OneDrive and Copilot in Windows 11 Pro using GPO
Make sure you have any files you want copied someplace that isn't a OneDrive folder. OneDrive will try to move files, but it may not succeed.
- Sign out of OneDrive
- Uninstall OneDrive
Open the group policy editor (GPO)
GPO -> Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> OneDrive
- Prevent OneDrive from generating network traffic until...: Enabled
- Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage: Enabled
GPO -> Local Computer Policy -> User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Copilot
- Turn off Windows Copilot: Enabled
This will not disable Copilot across the whole system. Individual apps will have to have it turned off as well.
