Copilot, Recall, and Other AI Tools Can Be Removed from Windows 11 with New Tool

RemoveWindowsAI is an open-source tool that gives Windows 11 administrators granular control to disable or remove AI features—including Copilot (Windows and Edge), Recall, Photos AI, AI scheduled tasks, and Office/Edge integrations—through registry edits, file cleanup, and browser flag changes; recent commits (late December to early January 2026) add TrustedInstaller-based fallback removal, improved package/revert handling and registry cleanup, execution policy fixes, and clearer UX safeguards, offering privacy-conscious users a scriptable way to curb AI components without leaving Windows.
