Microsoft recently introduced a feature in Windows called Copilot Actions, that allows AI agents to take actions on your PC on your behalf.

Microsoft have put quite a lot of thought into the security design of the feature, I’ve been looking at it.

But here’s a pop quiz. Microsoft say administrators can stop users enabling the feature. The quiz - specifically, how?

Edit: their wording is “will”, which may explain why I can’t find how. Which is a bit of a bummer for a feature already shipping.
