Reasonable question: Everyone is showing how to _disable_ this. _How about actually removing it?_ I never heard of this until I allowed my computer to update today. It did not ask me if I wanted AI, it just put it into my system uninvited. In my view, my computer is my property and I _do not_ want this - How do I get rid of it?

@niicespiice 5 месяцев назад

imo it should be illegal to add new features to peoples' pcs without permission... i didn't ask for it either, why are they putting it on my computer without telling me? :(

@claycassin8437 11 месяцев назад

I know exactly how to do it. Don't install Windows 11. It is an OS, spyware, malware, and adware all rolled into one. It is far better at spying than it is as an OS, that is for sure. It will never be allowed on any of my computers. And yes, I made the mistake of trying it. It almost made me wish for Windows 8. Luckily, Linux covers all of my needs. I was reasonably happy with Windows 10, once I got all the Telemetry and Cortana ripped out of it. It was way too much work keeping the system free of MSpyware though. I sure as hell am not going to fight with that again. Goodbye, Microsoft. I'm certain you won't miss me. I won't be missing you, either.

@incredible.india01 11 месяцев назад

Actually it is using edge to run itself, it not a standalone app and its Using lots of Ram all the time even if you close it. Its stupid move by Microsoft, if microsoft really wants to introduce Windows copilot , it should be a standalone app and should not be running in background after closing.

@prettyspectrum6371 3 месяца назад

I uninstalled Edge after i did the first tutorial but the copilot still stood on the corner of my screen. When asked it how to deactivate, it send me a video where it said copilot is linked to edge so for to uninstall it you need to get rid of Edge and so I did After that I decided to follow to registry tutorial, but when i go Policies>Microsoft>windows, copilot doesn't show... is it actually gone ?

@mr.squanch 2 месяца назад

The fact that copilot is not simply presented with 2 selectable options to turn on/off, but has a whole instance in between that you have to "turn on" in order to ultimately "turn off" something else really annoys me. The only reason it is designed this way is because they seem to hope that the inversely proportional approach will make people accidentally turn copilot on instead of off. This shit is really starting to get on my nerves. Microsoft shouldn't be surprised if people turn their backs on them and switch to Linux. This bullshit makes me angry.
