How do I disable Copilot and all Other AI functionality in Windows 11 PRO
I've tried the recommended steps for creating then setting the value for WindowsCopilot to 1, but the AI functions still return.
Help please.

There are already plenty of examples to dictate the fact that for now, Copilot remains a security risk.

2024-03-22T10:12:24+00:00 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 can escape the future, but we should free to choose among all options which one suits us better. Every time Microsoft tries to push something to me, I immediately reject it. Edge, Copilot, you name it. They don't ask you if you want to enable that feature, they just install it with an update, activate it and don't give you any easy way to deactivate it.

2024-03-27T03:56:15+00:00 I do not want AI on my computer unless I install it myself willingly. It's not up to any of those tech companies to decide whether I want that or not. I'm not buying any phone, tablet, or computer software that FORCES AI on me. I will go to alternatives even if it hurts. I spend too much time on my PC anyways. It would be good to get away from it all anyways.
And also please don't blame Microsoft for being late, please blame them for not going hard enough. They focused on slapping big cameras on a phone that had TERRIBLE software. They flopped because their software on mobile devices was garbage. If they had something like MIUI/IOS on their phones, they would have been an insane threat in the game. Their phones left a lot to be desired. They do that a lot with their stuff. Xbox is the same thing, the Xbox UI is garbage, they don't get as many sales on Xbox and people are going PC gaming more and more because Xbox UI is terrible, they killed off the Xbox Companion App on PC and replaced it with Xbox App which doesn't have 1/4 of the features the Companion App had. Oh and let's not forget that Microsoft also does stupid things to ALIENATE their customers. You're telling me I'm paying 60 dollars per year and you're gonna ban me if I swear? EXCUSE TF OUT OF ME? Yeah..... So please do not attribute the companies major L's as a timing thing. They just didn't go hard enough. Windows, same thing. We still have Windows 3.1 stuff in Windows 11.... Why???? If Microsoft WANTED to give you a good experience, they would, but they don't. They failed because of them and not because of timing.
