How to Enable or Disable Copilot Model Training on Windows 11

This article explains enabling or disabling Copilot Model training on Windows 11.

Copilot in Windows is a generative AI assistance that allows users to interact with the chatbot using natural language to change system settings and work across multiple applications.

With Copilot installed, you can enable or disable it, open Copilot when Windows starts, Pin or Unpin the Copilot side panel, Resize the Copilot side panel, delete chat history in Copilot, create a desktop shortcut, modify Copilot key, and more.

By default, “Model training” is turned on in Copilot unless you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, and certain other countries. It uses your conversations with Copilot to help train and improve AI.

The steps below walk you through turning on or off the “Model training” feature in Copilot on Windows.
