I think AI can be really annoyng at times, and am not finding anything all that useful about it. Windows 11 is going to force it on us whether or not it makes sense to have it. Will there be a way to use Windows without it?

    Hello Becky Cole

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A and informed us about the issue. Copilot AI is a very helpful tool, but I understand that you don't require that feature. To disable Copilot, please try:

    • Uninstall Copilot app: Open Windows settings > Apps > Installed apps > Microsoft Copilot > Uninstall
    • Disable from taskbar: Right-Click Copilot icon > unpin
