How do I remove all Copilot and AI related stuff from Windows 11?

Yes, you are right. But I rarely using google applications on my laptop and I do not use apple at all. If Google or Mircosoft (BING) uses KI for searching or creating maps in their cloud, it is o.k for me, but not on my laptop. If chrome uses local KI, I will delete it! But for serious browsing I use Brave.

I fear some day having KI **** on a new android smartphone via google. I'm currently kick all not absolute necessary apps from my smartphone, no banking, no id cart, no paypal, no DHL, using only telephone, internet, mail, railway ticket.

I canceled one bank account because of forcing usage fingerprint. No fingerprint stored on the smartphone. I do not trust google and some day the NSA has my fingerprint.

But no KI on my laptop.

I do not want KI on my laptop, no AI and no Copilot.

I want MS Office only talk to Microsoft because of updates, no other communication with MS.

If I can not eliminate Copilot completely from my laptop, I will eliminate Microsoft products from my laptop at all and will use Linux, Libre Offe, ....

No KI at all, save the world from KI

Thanks for response... I am seeing more and more people switch over to Linux based on how aggressive Microsoft has become in their practices. This would require a change in how I currently use Microsoft Software 365, but I am feeling that it will be worth it to have better control without interference by Microsoft...

You can download Office Classic which is free of copilot, is available in UK and US at the same price as Office 360 was pre copilot .

I was offerd a download from Microsoft in US a few deeks ago. Was tempted but had already paid for the Copilot version that is a total dissaster!

However, decided to stick with copilot version for a while as we may have some Legal options in Australia if a class action is instigated or Microsoft is found to have breached consumer law etc!

Just working on ways to minimise its intrusive activities in the short term.

No once Copilot version is on its there for life! Their excuse is that you can disable the Copilot in the latest one.

The technicians wasted HOURS to get it to go back and have said the one older version is now back and I won't have problems.

HOWEVER they either do not know what they are doing and they''believe'' they've sorted the problem OR they're just going through the motions of taking hours to restore it back and JUST LIE and say its sorted.

HOWEVER Copilot is LURKING on my laptop and is still showing active at times.

It's Microsofts way of FORCING one to use this rubbish !!!!!! They know there are TOO MANY NOT WANTING AI!!!!

For months I had the same frustrating experience. The "agent" apparently operates from a third world call center, and after hours of playing mindlessly with my computer declares the problem solved, for instance remove Copilot. Nothing is solved, but he/she declares case solved and a great success. Microsoft is abusing its monopolistic position. Disgusting. Very American.
