"Linux is too complicated for anyone" Windows users: #Linux #Microsoft #FuckAI #Windows11
Every Windows 11 PC is now an AI PC with Copilot at the center of it all.

Here's how to get rid of Copilot completely from your computer
(1/3)1/ Settings App

> Personalization
> Taskbar
> Other System Tray Icons
> Switch "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" Off

This hides Copilot from your taskbar2/ Press Win + R

> Type in "regedit"
> Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows"
> Right-click on the "Windows" Key
> New
> Key
> Name the new key "WindowsCopilot"
> Right-click on the new key
> New
> DWORD (32-bit) Value3/

> Name the value "TurnOffWindowsCopilot"
> Double-click the name of the value
> Set the "Value Data" to 1
> Restart your computer

Congrats! Copilot is now completely gone from your computer.

Hope this helps
