My Windows box has installed Copilot, an AI "writing" program, in the last round of "upgrades". This is apparently something that Microsoft are pushing hard, since all instructions on removing it seem to be virtually incomprehensible - about the best that you can do easily is remove the button to start it from the toolbar. I suspect that the instructions were AI generated.

I do not want to use AI for writing - I regard it as an invitation for problems with copyright etc. in the things that I write. I suspect that there are businesses that will find this out the hard way.

If anyone knows a method of removing it that doesn't involve more or less incomprehensible instructions please point me at it.

Meanwhile, FU Microsoft

Well the best way to get rid of that crap is to install Linux but I don't think it fits your requirement of "not incomprehensible".

Are you on Windows 10 or 11?

I'm also on Windows 10. So far I've escaped having Copilot installed. However every couple of days I see that the icon at the far right of the task bar has turned black, indicating that I have a new notification. When I check on it, I find it's just Microsoft plugging Copilot, which is starting to really annoy me. It's not so long ago that notifications were reserved for things that you really ought to know about, such as that your anti-virus currently wasn't running.
