I spent a good 20 minutes trying to remove copilot from my windows 10 machine last night. It embedded itself into the taskbar, the edge explorer, and I finally had to go into system components to disable it. No doubt there will be another ms update that will revert all these settings again

On Windows 11 you can just uninstall it. I did. Win10 is old and about to be unsupported.

My pc is old unfortunately. I'd hate to upgrade it to support win11 jsut to disable all the ai crap. But I hate that my old pc keeps getting updates with copilot without me asking for copilot.

Alternatives to soon-to-be unsupported Windows releases exist.

MS replaced Cortana with Copilot, so it's kida just an update to an existing feature.
