Reading the article, it's so many conditions to be uninstallable I fear even Bill Gates himself couldn't.

"Allow" Fuck you, Microsoft. You and Apple have lost millions of users to Linux, and I'm here for it.

FYI: as a user, you are already allowed to uninstall Windows and switch to Linux

Oh they'll "allow" it, how's this go fuck yourself and keep your shitty AI crap to yourself since you fucking love it so much.

 There's an easier way. Switch to Linux. It's good now, and only going to get better with more adoption.

You know what Microsoft doesn't have to allow you? Install Linux on your own device!

IT admins should already know how to do it without Macroslop‘s permission.

This policy is available on Enterprise, Pro, and EDU SKUs. so.. they arent allowing admins to uninstall it. they're letting admins ask their users very nicely to not reinstall it.

Anyway, "Copilot" in my native language is "The bastard".

I don't understand the universe in which this is not an option. in an enterprise scenario, you are being very specific about who you share your data with. That's why there's a market for self-hosted AI, and it's why a lot of companies will silo their data. if this thing was on all the time just sending your computer usage shit to Microsoft, there's no fucking way it would have any use in a corporate setting. with that being said, I don't understand what this article is saying at all >The new policy will apply to devices where the Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Copilot are both installed, the Microsoft Copilot app was not installed by the user, and the Microsoft Copilot app was not launched in the last 28 days. ... >"If this policy is enabled, the Microsoft Copilot app will be uninstalled, once. no, you know what? I don't care. it's really boring

Business has spoken, consumers have spoken. No one wants AI right now. Large companies trying to out compete each other on LLM is stupid. Time for the bubble to pop before more people get hurt.

I see this has a nature healing moment. We are seeing a big technology company letting people remove AI from something not adding it in.

? In the Enterprise editions of Windows, you can already uninstall it. Maybe not via group policy, but you can just find it in the Apps > Installed Apps list and right click to uninstall it. On the various home user editions of Windows, this is probably not the case. (I have zero systems running those, so I can't check.) The Enterprise LTSC IoT version of Windows 10 doesn't even *come* with Copilot, nor have any updates for it thus far installed it on any of the systems I administer, either. Apparently only 11 does. What's new here is apparently being able to trigger this via group policy, but for anyone in the here and now you can already **disable** Copilot via group policy as well, even on your local system, even on Windows 11.

I thought they renamed their entire product line to "Copilot" by now, didn't they? Uninstalling it at this point would leave absolutely nothing left!
-
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2026-01-15 02:53
You can uninstall Copilot yourself with O&O ShutUp.
-
@sturmblast@lemmy.world 2026-01-14 11:54
You always could disable it completely thus far

It used to be "My Computer", now it is "This PC".
