Why has microsoft copilot installed itself on my windows 10 pc?

Personne n'est obligé de l'utiliser mais il est facturé sans qu'on ait rien demandé ! Et là, je trouve que c'est vraiment nous prendre pour des imbéciles...

I uninstalled a trial version of Microsoft 365 months ago and now copilot is back which I just learned requires a subscription to Microsoft copilot 365. Am I suddenly being charged for it without my knowledge or permission! Do I have any recourse to undo any current or future payments to Microsoft for an app I did not request or even want? This is a sneaky back door way of doing business and no notice was given that this was happening. Not only is Microsoft trying to force users to upgrade to Windows 11, they are now trying this underhanded method of still making a few extra bucks off anyone who can't afford to replace all their pc's to comply with the requirements for Windows 11. If I knew that copilot is not a free service anymore I would have dumped it without using it. Microsoft has become corrupted by greed!

I don't think I am condescending is my opinion. Copilot gets in my way when I am writing, and I don't want it on my machine. If you want it, that is fine with me, but I don't want it and even Microsoft approved tech support people have not found a way to delete it as a program on my computer. Why shouldn't I have the choice to load what I want on my computer and delete programs I do not want?

All the places your average non-techy, non-nerdy consumer is never likely to venture! That's not very helpful. At time of installation, Microsoft could put some effort into explaining new features it wants users to accept, the pros and the cons (in the spirit of transparency (ha!)), and give them the option at the time whether to accept or decline the feature.

For the umpteenth time I'm having to reinstall windows 10. Where Microsoft doesn't do the above I'm forced back into playing a game of whack-a-mole to rid it of everything I didn't want, as each and every thing turns back up on my machine. If it was a simple process, I wouldn't have so many complaints about it. Too, often though, it's a long exercise in researching the problem, trying this, trying that, and maybe you succeeed. It eats up hours and hours of my valuable time while causing much grief and frustration. Does Microsoft really want that to be the experience its customers have? The idea that Microsoft make things easy for non-techy customers is frankly laughable. I often end up in the registry and places no ordinary consumer should ever need to be.

Do you know how condescending you come off? Do you revel in it? Does it make you feel big?
