Thing is, having to run a startup script to “remove” it means it’s not being removed. It’s being hindered at each boot.
Fighting against copilot has been a struggle as Microsoft consistently tries to inject it into every single application they can during updates.
We deal with very restrictive international regulations and the fact that they have not simple made a “fuck off” check box is going to get them into a boiling pot once the data they are scraping after ever update that reactively needs to be remediated gets added to their stupid “ai” and is able to be accessed.
Microsoft needs to get their shit together and provide and opt-in during OS install (corporate or not). A large banner should be displayed over the whole screen for 10 seconds “MICROSOFT IS TAKING ALL OF YOUR DATA AND SHOVING IT INTO A DATABASE THAT CAN POTENTIALLY BE ACCESSED BY ANYONE, AND THIS INCLUDES INFORMATION RESTRICTED BY INTERNATIONAL LAW, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS AND ANY PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION YOU HAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER” so that and users know that they are being sold and not an owner of what they are paying for.

It does not need to run at every startup, it just needs to run once.
AppXProvisioned packages are those into the system that which are available to install to each new user. I’ve just suggested “an option” which would be running it as a start up script the first time you provision the machine. I think it’s a much better option to use policy.
Updatss to both Copilot applications are performed based on the state of the appxpaclage.
I think thousands of mouse clicks, error messages and browsing history of tens of millions of hundreds of millions of people is a lot harder to use maliciously than people think.
You can see the starting points of the agentic OS, which will serve the vast majority of people. But it is frustrating to see how slow “do this task” prompts are going to progress just because there’s not a lot of good sources for prompts. Apart from asking people wheat prompt they would use and then asking for feedback of what should have happened.

I don’t care how hard it is to use. THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Coding is hard and telemetry is a good way to solve problems. I don’t know how you work on something as complex as an operating system without it.

“My job would be harder if I didn’t spy on you” isn’t the rebuttal you think it is.
