Describe the feature or improvement
Hey! The current reg file for disabling the chat icon is on a per user basis. https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat/blob/master/Regfiles/Disable_Chat_Taskbar.reg There's a reg for disabling it for all users as a local policy that can be added too.
Examples
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Heya,
Thanks for taking the time to create this feature request. I don't think this is really relevant anymore however, as the chat button no longer exists in recent versions Windows 11 and Windows 10 is nearing end-of-life.
Oh really? I tend to lose track of whatever feature they add or remove. It's such a mess. However, regarding Win10, more and more of my friends are asking for help regarding the extended support so it might be entering EoL on Microsoft's part, but not on the user side. Plus, Win10's latest LTSC is from 2021 and will be supported until 2032 (although I have no idea if the chat button is part of this one).
