About this tag
Endpoint governance on Windows involves managing and securing devices against unwanted software installations, particularly AI-driven features like Microsoft Copilot and agentic AI. Discussions cover Microsoft's automatic installation of Copilot on commercial PCs, Group Policy and AppLocker methods for removal, and the security risks of agentic AI features. Enterprise IT admins face challenges with consent models, durable blocks, and re-provisioning. Microsoft Execution Containers aim to secure AI agents on Windows and WSL, integrating with Defender and Intune. The tag focuses on practical controls for IT departments to govern endpoints in an era of AI integration.
