Too Much AI Nuisance In Windows 11? This GitHub Script Can Disable Them All

Despite Microsoft’s intentions in turning Windows into an “agentic OS”, a good chunk of Windows populace doesn’t entertain the idea that everything must revolve around the hottest two-letter word in the tech industry. Given the admittedly excessive presence of AI features like Copilot and Recall, developer “zoicware” has made a script on GitHub that wipes them them all from the face of Windows 11, should users wish to do so.

Making Windows 11 AI-Free

This tool is called “Remove Windows AI”, and it’s a simple PowerShell script that simply operates from a single command taken from its GitHub page. You’re then immediately presented with a list of options on what to disable, then clicking Apply to make changes. This will take several minutes and a system reboot to complete, but once done, you won’t be seeing any AI features getting in your way anymore.

It’s all pretty simple – and if you have questions on what each function does, simply hover your mouse to the ‘?’ icon which provides the relevant explanation. If you change your mind, you can activate the “Revert Mode” to restore any functionality that got disabled; if you want to play extra safe, there’s also a backup option (which we recommend doing, just in case).

While most of the AI features can be disabled through this simple process, some do require manual intervention, according to the creator. These include Gaming Copilot (which actively sees what you do in-game by default), OneDrive AI, and Windows Studio Effects. Disabling them usually involves finding the setting involved and flip the switches off. In case Microsoft adds new AI features down the line, the creator says those will be covered once they enter the mainline release.

Pokdepinion: Do appreciate the devs who went out of the way to create tools like this, giving power back to the users.
