On my Windows 11 machine I just uninstalled Copilot via the normal app uninstall process. Unless I’m misunderstanding, I don’t think it’s tied into the OS in any fundamental way. I assume most debloating scripts include the step anyway.
Gonna get to enjoy some reg edits on that machine then!
Edit: So I just looked at that machine that is set to take all new updates, and it doesn’t look to be installed like it is for that guy in the video. However, it looks like this machine hasn’t picked up 24H2 yet, which is strange as I thought it was meant to be worldwide now?
Windows users trying to make their adware delivery platform strapped to a program loader usable (I can install my operating system faster then they can install a program)
Imagine jumping through all those hoops because Microsoft sabotages your property against you, when your could just use Linux and have it respect your rights as its owner instead.
From what I understand others more knowledgeable than I am have said that person tried some nonsense where he gutted files from the OS that may have included dependencies for explorer.exe so if what Microsuck says is still true you can disable the screenshot function of recall and whatever other privacy settings you want and you’ll still be able to use your PC.
I really hope that’s true because I honestly don’t want to have to go to Linux and play IT guy constantly when I’m just trying to play a game or something after work. However much Microsuck sucks, windows almost always just works and the rare times I have an issue so many people use windows that I can easily find a fix.
Linux isn’t that bad these days unless you want to use something silly and not supported by the manufacturers, like nVidia’s Optimus or other crap. Even then, the linux folks have it figured out. You can get step by step instructions for about any issue, even the complicated weird shit like Optimus.
I didn’t even bother. On the machines I have with Win 11 it’s either not installed or functional but entirely optional. That whole recall feature never got implemented and honestly at this point I don’t know if it’ll ever be.

Kinda crap that it’s installed by default though.
Enjoy it while you can. Recall is going to be a hard dependency of the new file explorer because of… reasons.

MS really can’t make stuff easy.

I’m just happy I only need to use it on one PC ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you have any anti-cheat software on your PC, then the update is paused. Basically because it fucks it up.
With anti-cheat being one of the major things causing games to be Windows dependant, that is hilarious.

This is false. Please do not spread misinformation.

Okay then there should be no reason to spread misinformation about it.

I don’t wanna touch grass! Don’t make me! Lol

I uninstalled copilot after an update installed it, on win 10
