I want to remove Copilot from Windows 11. Completely. I dont want it disabled so it conveniently comes back with the next update. I want it gone. I am tired of microsoft telling me what I want on the machine I own.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

    I think this is a pretty sh1tty response, to say the least. I don't know if you were intending to be mean, condescending, difficult, a combination of all of these or something else offensive? "Since Microsoft owns Windows, they get to decide what goes into Windows. And since you own your computer, you get to decide what goes into your computer." We all know that MS has become one of the biggest Monopolies on the planet. But what I find particularly offensive about this response (and the MS "situation"), is that - despite buying these programs - which then SHOULD allow you to decided how they operate on YOUR machine, in your home, Microsoft has taken away the option to not have constant updates, and you are acting like that should just be accepted!

    That this has been allowed by all the 100s of governing bodies who should have stepped in by now and prevented software giants making these decisions for us (inherently changing a product from the one that we bought/installed, without our permission), doesn't make it right, the same way that 100s of things that have existed legally in the world even in the last 50 years are not okay. Don't make it sound like someone is being unreasonable for wanting something that they have paid for (and has almost no choice to use in the modern world, unless they're an IT expert and know their other options and/or have the time to investigate and implement) to behave with the options that they choose for themselves. That this particular option happens to be in relation to AI makes this viewpoint even more offensive.

    Please let us know if you do find an alternative! I guess Microsoft will start losing customers if that becomes available, provided they also don't have a hidden agenda

    I concur that Co Pilot is not a part of the Windows Operating System at all. Microsoft is force feeding this upon all users if you want to continue to stay on their platform. It is a shame that Microsoft has taken this most unfortunate stance... All many of us want is a simple easy to use and reliable platform. Microsoft simply does not care as they have their own ulterior motives - Which by the way they will not even state what their motives are? Obviously it revolves around their own profits and desire to control our lives... I am currently looking for other options...

    Copilot is "a core part of the OS" - that's simply not true! (also known as a "lie") The Window core was written a long time ago before WIndows 10, so Copilot is most certainly not a core part of the OS. Copilot didn't even exist until very recently 🤣
