Microsoft rolls back some of its Copilot AI bloat on Windows

  It needs to be rolled back altogether. If the background spy app isn’t done away with, anything else is pointless window dressing.

    the background apo you call “spy app” is recal and its

    1. for copilot + arm pcs only.
    2. off by default
    3. and runs local only, so not spying

      Considering it’s a closed source, proprietary system, you sure seem confident about the 'local only not spying ’ thing.

      Eh. Okay. If you are saying that copilot sends no data back to microsoft relating to what I am doing on my PC… I… believe?.. You? Thanks?

      One way or another, copilot was running on my PC after an update and was causing a lag in everything including mouse and keyboard input. I disabled it using this method : youtu.be/huKvvOKbkaA and the lag immediately went away with no other change.

      So I don’t care if they were sending my personal keyboard info to Putin himself or just storing training info in a binary file on my pc or just sitting there doing “nothing” and clogging my memory, it was making a noticeable difference in my PC operation.

  If they knew any better, they’d link rewards to enrollment. Customers want choice and incentives.

  Dosnt bother me since i stopped using Microslop

  Only thing left is migrating my data from Authenticator and Onedrive. Plus my main email runs on Outlook so that’s gonna be pain.
