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
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.

At some point you have to ask yourself if it would be less hassle to switch now or to try and tough it out until Windows becomes unbearable.
Windows is already pretty unbearable.
On Windows 11 you can just uninstall it. I did. Win10 is old and about to be unsupported.

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.
