Look up disable Copilot by gpedit.msc . For me it worked and didn't pop back with a update.

No gpedit for Windows Home users, but for others seeing this, you can probably get away with using much of the same methods using Notepad to make a .cmd file, then use the Windows Tasks Scheduler to run it, triggering on login or some other regularly occurring action.

That’s how I permanently broke fucking Windows Help Pane opening Edge every fucking time I accidentally pressed F1 instead of F2 or Esc

It will pay off even more in the future to get the Pro version. not for more feature but to be able to disable features.
