    Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality”

    Removing Copilot wasn’t unintentional at all. They said so right there in the release notes.

      i believe you’re on to something, with the thought that removing it wasn’t unintentional…

      i am willing to bet it was deliberate, but as a way to catch more users who refuse to upgrade from Win10 BECAUSE of Copilot. once they get more users to adopt, they simply put it back in, in one of their updates

    Will be hard to argue that it cannot be removed, like they did with internet exploder…

    Honestly this sounds like a veteran MS dev who wanted to ensure he had a good ISO build of windows to install without AI shit down the line after he retired. Props to whatever MS dev (or devs) made this happen

    This is like a vet telling me they accidentally removed a life threatening tumor in my dog while doing something else.

    Like damn not sure how you did that by accident but wait what don’t try to put it back what the hell?

    Also did you just put ads INSIDE MY DOG? What the hell is wrong with you?

      Completely unrelated segue, but your comment reminded me of this one vet appointment I had with my dog.

      He was in for having his teeth cleaned, and came out with his claws trimmed. They managed to cut into his quick on five claws. I don’t even know how they managed to do that, I don’t do that and I don’t have the advantage of him being sedated when I clip them. Then they had the absolute gall to charge me for trimming his claws.

      To top it all off; I had an appointment booked with the groomer next-door a couple of days after that so their “service” was unwarranted and unwelcome.

      Not your dog, you only own the license to have them as a pet and it can be withdrawn at any time.

    Too late. I already jumped ship because of Copilot’s “Recall”, and I’m not interested in going through a round of partitioning the hard drive and installing a new OS so soon.

        I’d prefer AI cores, just like I prefer HW based AES instructions: present and up to my discretion as to how I choose to use them, or not.

          If it’s a choice between AI-accelerated cores and nothing, sure, but that silicon space could have been used for AVX-512 or a bigger cache instead.
