Hello! I've just enabled Europe Mode But I wasn't informed it would stop Copilot (I use it all the time) Could anyone tell me How to or where to find the registry to disable this mode Its extremely frustrating why there wasn't a revert button in the first place.

我和你遇到了同样的问题，我通过互联网搜索，找到了解决方案，我希望我的分享能帮到你，下面是这个解决方案的具体内容。

首先你仍然需要使用MSEdgeRedirect查看你目前地区的对应编码。以我自己为例，我的地区设定是US，所以MachineRegion和UserRegion的值都是244

你要做的就是检查自己的MachineRegion和UserRegion的值是否统一为US(或者别的能够使用copilot)的国家和地区，我建议选择US)，如果你发现这个值没有统一，请使用Win+R组合键运行regedit注册表编辑器，搜索以下路径的注册表HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\DeviceRegion，使用十进制的方式修改它的值，使其与UserRegion的值保持一致。

在那之后，记得完全删除MSEdgeRedirect程序，并再次检查另一个注册表HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Copilot\BingChat的十六进制的值是否为1，如果不是1，将其修改成1

之后重启电脑，你的copilot或许就能恢复了。

Thanks a lot! It helps! But if you delete the DeviceRegion file, after reboot Windows will create a new file, again with the region that MSEdgeRedirect set. Is it possible to find out where this information comes from and how to change it so that the region cannot be reset during an update or something like that, in theory?
