    I hate this wording choise, that “Turn off windows copilot” - Enabled, actually means that copilot is disabled. Confusing and unintuitive. It should say just “windows Copilot: Enabled/Disabled”. Why is MS like this?

      It’s a boolean operation implementing the rule in question. 0 is no action, 1 is do whatever the action is.

      In this case the action is a negative – disable the thing – so it is indeed semantically confusing to anyone who doesn’t have binary brain.

      The option for “Disable Windows Consumer Features” (i.e. stop installing Candy Crush and other bullshit in your start menu without your consent) works the same way.
