I did this the moment they dropped copilot on my taskbar without any prompting. It was my gaming machine so it took a little getting used to, but it’s been solid ever since.
I did not ask for an AI chatbot in my os. I don’t want an AI chatbot in my os.
You could go to Settings -> Personalization -> Taskbar and turn the Copilot button off. Or you could install a whole new OS to accomplish that, I guess. Whichever is simpler.
I over reacted and took the Linux route. It wasn’t just one thing that prompted the change, but copilot was the icing on the cake.
I’ve been unhappy with windows for a few years, but it’s always been easier to ignore it and continue on. Something in me must have snapped about the same time a few guys at work were talking about gaming on Linux. Worked out well for me, might not work best for everyone.
I tried doing this the other day. Due to my current GPU (3080) it was too many hoops to jump through just to play a game. I don’t want to spend time configuring my setup to make the game run in the little amount of free time that I have ಥ‿ಥ
Although the system is very efficient I’ve decided to move my side project to be on Linux, making my Windows install to be purely for gaming. I was using WSL previously with a Mac for my day job.
Maybe if I switched to an AMD GPU I’ll do a proper Linux gaming setup.
Really considering moving my main computer to Linux with the way things are going

I don’t think it’s an overreaction - you have a line, and when it was crossed you switched.
I’m dual booting my laptop and most of the time I stay using Linux. There just no point using Windows except some specific tasks.
