With recent Windows updates, Microsoft has been adding AI features like Microsoft Copilot and Recall. Not every user needs them — some find them more burden than benefit.
Why remove them?
- Low usage: many users never actually rely on these features
- Privacy: reduce features that collect data or monitor usage
- System performance: cut resource consumption and improve responsiveness
The solution: a ready-made script
There’s an open-source script that removes these features cleanly, without diving into system internals. The project lives on GitHub: RemoveWindowsAI
How to use it
- Open PowerShell as Administrator
- Run the following command:
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/main/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1")))
The script removes the Windows AI features tied to the system directly.
