can this be hidden via registry or group policy?

I was able to disable autopilot with a registry change but I don't remember where I found the link. It wasn't easy to find at the time when I looked. That being said if you reply asking for the link I'll try and find it but otherwise, yes.

Edit to add that I'm specifically talking about hiding or disabling autopilot bloatware, not just the icon.
