- Microsoft removed the Copilot label from Notepad for all Windows 11 users, but the AI assistant remains under a new name
- Microsoft added a policy option that lets enterprise admins uninstall Copilot from corporate devices
- Notepad continues to provide AI‑powered suggestions after the rename, preserving the user experience
Why it matters: Enterprise IT admins can now uninstall Copilot, cutting potential licensing fees and data exposure; Windows 11 users keep AI assistance but lose the Copilot label, reducing Microsoft’s brand visibility.
