windows 11 governance

Windows 11 governance refers to the policies and tools IT administrators use to manage and control Windows 11 devices in enterprise environments. A key example is the RemoveMicrosoftCopilotApp policy, which allows admins to automatically uninstall the consumer Copilot app from managed devices under specific conditions, such as when Microsoft 365 Copilot is installed and the app was not user-installed or recently launched. This policy is configured through Intune or Group Policy and is supported on Windows 11 version 25H2 and later for Pro and Enterprise editions. Such governance measures help organizations maintain control over software sprawl and enforce compliance across their Windows 11 deployments.
