Fortunately you can turn that stuff off but annoying how they've approached it.

How?
Disable Copilot from the settings (top right).

Thanks, did not think I needed to as I uninstalled Copilot.
They are slowly adding it to everything, 365, Notepad, Windows in general.
They recent said how Windows is going to become an agentic OS (AI agents throughout the OS) so it's something you'll have to get used to if you continue to use Windows.

Windows 11 Agentic OS AI upgrade faces backlash, Microsoft responds by closing replies
Microsoft’s Windows chief locked comments on an X post after backlash over the idea of Windows becoming an “agentic OS.”

Microsoft just revealed how Windows 11 is evolving into an agentic OS — finally the explanation we've all been waiting for
A new agentic workspace feature will contain AI agents in their own secure session, which users can share data with or shut down at a moment's notice.

Does full control include an agent removing all tracking, telemetry and other fluff to make the OS more responsive and lighter I wonder...

@mrk will embrace and love it!
I will probably chip to SteamOS and keep windows usage to a minimum eventually.
Going out on a limb here but I'm going to say no.

Even MS paint. And it can’t be fully turned off either. Only part of it can via registry edits.
I did a clean install of 25H2 but the first thing I did after was run this script.

Thanks. I'm growing tired of MS doing whatever they want with no regard for the consumerI did a clean install of 25H2 but the first thing I did after was run this script.

I stayed on 23H2 for as long as I could but that went EOL on the 11/11/25 so I had to look at getting on to 25H2 and thankfully I found this.Thanks. I'm growing tired of MS doing whatever they want with no regard for the consumer
running cmd as admin and then checking if Recall was found returned saying it was unknown which was a good sign for me and showed the script did its part
Didn't know that.
Just read this:

Bloody hell MS!

That does not surprise me at all and they cannot force you if you have Explorer patcher installed as this blocks the install and says it needs uninstalling before you can continue.
I didn't know about 23H2 either until recently.
List here, 25H2 is down for EOL 12th of October 2027

I tried this and it's good, but unfortunately still has co-pilot in things like Paint. WTF MS, WTF.
The icon is there but I think it does not work if you try and use it. (not tested myself other option is to uninstall paint lol)

Worked on mine as well so uninstalled it
I want to make it clear that I'm not saying you, or anyone, shouldn't use that but you may want to be a little wary as i had a look through the scripts and while i didn't see anything malicious it does do things i personally, and it is a personal judgement thing, wouldn't be comfortable with.I did a clean install of 25H2 but the first thing I did after was run this script.

It seems to take a rather aggressive approach, more aggressive than i personally would be happy with, to removing the AI stuff. When i say aggressive i mean it deletes some AI related .dll's, downloads some extra files (from what i can tell it's only language files from his git hub repository) and probably replaces existing files, prevents Windows from running some files, and uses unofficial means of removing some apps.
Like i said it's entirely up to you what you run on your system and I'm not saying it's malicious. However if you're going to run it, or any script, it's worth looking into what it's doing and if you're personally OK with what it's about to do.
