How to Manage Personalization in Windows 11 Copilot

This article explains how to enable or disable personalization in the Copilot app on Windows 11.

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

For computers that have Copilot added, a new Copilot button will appear on the Taskbar. Clicking the button or using the keyboard shortcut (Windows key + C) will appear as a flyout interface.

Starting with the most recent Windows builds, the Copilot app was redesigned to work like a regular Windows app that will be pinned to the taskbar with the benefits of a traditional app experience, including the ability to resize, move, and snap the window.

The new Copilot app has a personalization feature that uses your chats in Chat history, including inferences from the context of your prior chats, to personalize your experience.

You can turn off personalization at any time by visiting the Copilot Settings page through the settings in the top right corner of the page.

The steps below walk you through enabling or disabling the personalization feature in the Copilot app.

Turn on or off Personalization in the Copilot app

As mentioned, users can turn on or off the Personalization feature in the Copilot app at any time.

Here’s how to do it.

First, open the Copilot app.

Then, click the Sign in or profile picture at the top right corner.

On the drop-down menu, select and expand Settings. Then, click on Chat.

On the Settings page under Chat, check the box next to “Personalization” to enable this feature.

To disable it, uncheck the box.

Turning off Automatically save chats will also disable the Personalization setting.

That should do it!

Conclusion:

• Enabling or disabling personalization is a straightforward process that can be done through the Copilot app settings.
• It is important to note that turning off the “Automatically save chats” feature will also deactivate the personalization setting.
