Copilot is Windows’ AI helper that chats with you to change settings and manage tasks. A Copilot button appears on your taskbar on compatible PCs, and you open it with that button or by pressing Windows key + C.

Open the Copilot app, click your profile picture, then Settings, and More. Adjust the Search suggestions checkbox to enable or disable them, and click Save.
