I did not ask for this feature, I didn't even intentionally update my pc and while I am glad that I seem to have successfully uninstalled it, I am infuriated that it was installed without my knowledge nor consent. Generative AI is technology I personally believe to be genuinely evil and not something I would interact with willingly under any circumstances. Knowing that this feature is irremovable in win11 is the final excuse I need never to install it. If any Microsoft exec cares please burn down all of your AI infrastructure and reassign all those staff, it is a waste of money, talent, time and human energy. Please do not re-install Copilot in the next update, please.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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?
Read the EU laws and policies on anti-competitive behaviour and then decide if Microsoft is complying. Or are they looking at another 561 million euro fine as in 2013 with Internet Explorer.
The scariest search queries for Chat GPT users is asking it, "What do you know about me?" and the responses are terrifying.
Uh, yeah... like it came up with my full name, age, address, family, friends, and even previous locations I have visited... are we being watched? ❔🤨🙄
on 1.17.2025 it installed itself. I previously removed it via applications, registry, and cleared data. It's clearly installing itself with some update, be it Windows or an Office update. Is it fair to consider your responses MSFT's responses? I'd like for us to start being able to hold MSFT accountable for this.
Today, Dec 6, 2024, Copilot was auto installed on my computer. Not impresssed
