Föderation EN Do 16.05.2024 11:04:04 I finally did it. I used an LLM. A couple of months ago, MS added its Copilot to Windows. I turned it off. But the latest update shoved it back in my face and tried to get me to let it use my data. So I asked it a question: How do I get rid of Copilot? It suggested I uninstall it like any other program, but MS removed that option. But Copilot went on to tell me the exact registry key to change to block it from loading, and now it's gone. |

Föderation EN Do 16.05.2024 15:50:05 the thing is, 10 years ago, if you asked google a question about windows or office, among the top hits would almost always be a hit like this toot, with specific usable on point instructions 15 years ago, I got a wierd MS error message and google led me to an Australian software company that had a program you could download that would fix the problem (I forget the details) !! now google is so bad . |

Föderation EN Do 16.05.2024 14:39:28 @WearsHats People dunk on linux users for using the terminal to install basic stuff, and meanwhile Windows require registry edits to - not even uninstall unwanted bloatware - just stop it from running automatically. |

Föderation EN Do 16.05.2024 15:43:05 @WearsHats I would also recommend a firewall like portmaster to just block some stuff on a network level |

Föderation EN Do 16.05.2024 15:57:46 @WearsHats Reminds me of when Clippy the office assistant was introduced The most asked question was "How do I permanently get rid of the office assistant" Which key was it btw ? |

Föderation EN Do 16.05.2024 16:14:21 I asked Google Assistant on my phone how to remove it. It was annoying because it popped up if I accidentally long pressed on the middle button. I never use it. It told me I couldn't but I could turn it off. So I did. Now it pops up both on the middle button *and* when I connect a Bluetooth device. But instead of asking how it can help, it says "turn me on, so I can help you". Google obviously uses a different meaning of "turned off" |
Föderation EN Do 16.05.2024 16:15:04 @WearsHats That's so awesome, hahaha. I'm a mac user, and I'm warily looking forward to Apple shoving its AI nonsense at me as well. |
Föderation EN Do 16.05.2024 16:20:03 @WearsHats Finally, an LLM gives accurate and useful information! |
Föderation EN Do 16.05.2024 16:30:48 So in summary, this registry command creates a new DWORD value named TurnOffWindowsCopilot under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot and sets its value to 1, which tells Windows to disable the Copilot feature for the current user account https://www.perplexity.ai/search/what-does-this-.Ih24NqhRGi7JomackvFEw |
