How do I disable Copilot and all Other AI functionality in Windows 11 PRO

I agree with you. Although I have been testing with Zorin Linux for a few weeks. It is pretty close to what MS does. The Libre Office seems to be much better than OpenOffice used to be. At least the spreadsheet can use dates prior to 1/1/1900 w/o having to write ridiculous formula's. I don't duel boot, but I've installed it on three old computers to test with, to get used to how to network and swap data and such. My final process is making sure I can read my MS365 emails w/o having to use the browser. There are options, so I'm working through them. I hope to rebuild my laptop with Zorin soon. BTW, Zorin comes with everything (i.e., LibreOffice) for $48 and you can install on as many computers as you like as long as you use the same login account. For $48, I don't mind buying more licesnes if I need to. It's still way cheaper than MS. Hope this helps.

Copilot can be disabled, which is what I did, because I have a subscription to ChatGPT-4, but it cannot be removed, because artificial intelligence is now part of the operating system and, increasingly, part of everyday life. So disable it if you wish, however, I think the better choice is to learn how to live with it, because artificial intelligence, for better or worse, is the future, and no one can escape the future.

No, one does not need to "live with" AI. At present it is a PITA that rarely works and turning it off is a perfectly reasonable approach to take.
