> Sometimes, uninstalling Copilot doesn't take it off the list of startup apps, so when you reboot your computer, it may come back.

It is not yours anymore if you can't uninstall stuff. You may own hardware, but you do not own anything on it.

But the article is literally instructions on how to uninstall it…also you can just uninstall Windows entirely.

Like I get where you’re coming from, but let’s not pretend that Windows PCs are iPhones now just because of Microsoft’s annoying dark patterns (patterns they’ve been following for years before Copilot came out).

    There is really no need to split hairs here, Windows is definitely to be compared to iphones when it comes to how much you are in control.

    The instructions described in the article will stop working with the next Windows update, as copilot usage is tied to middle manager #78's KPIs at Microsoft.
