For now, the Copilot features will be technically opt-in, but it’s more than possible that this will change in the future.

As much as i dislike some Windows 11 elements, let's stick to facts. The headline make it seem way worse than it actually is, although still not good at all.

This is how Microsoft has rolled out everything for decades.

  • opt in
  • opt out when prompted
  • turn off from control panel
  • turn off from registry
  • turn off from two places in registry
  • turn off with 3rd party app
  • "you're being weird, everyone uses that"
