Like other options of its ilk, this surely ultimately just sets a flag in the registry someplace, which anyone can do once we figure out what the path to that flag is.

Incidentally, although I have not had to do this in a long time, you can move a copy of the Group Policy Management snap-in (gpedit.msc) from a Windows 10 pro/enterprise/whatever machine over to a Win10 Home machine and run it, and it’ll Just Work.

Edit:

Found it. The value is in:

ComputerHKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsCopilot

The value is literally just called TurnOffWindowsCopilot. That was easy, for a change.

I confirmed that twiddling the Group Policy setting sets this to either 0 or 1.

This is also adjacent to the “Disable Windows Consumer Features” setting, which is located right next to it in CloudContent. Another flag most sane people will want to set to 1.
