This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable Administrator Protection for admin approval mode elevations in Windows 11.
Starting with Windows 11 build 27718.1000 (Canary), you can now enable Administrator Protection to use for Admin Approval Mode (aka: elevated rights) instead of User Account Control (UAC).
Administrator Protection is an upcoming platform security feature in Windows 11, which aims to protect free floating admin rights for administrator users allowing them to still perform all admin functions with just-in-time admin privileges. This feature is off by default and needs to be enabled via group policy. Microsoft plans to share more details about this feature at Microsoft Ignite.

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the Windows Copilot feature on the taskbar for all or specific users in Windows 11 and Windows 10.
