Windows 11 users can disable AI features using open-source script

Users seeking to remove artificial intelligence features from Windows 11 can utilize an open-source tool called RemoveWindowsAI. Developed by Zoicware, this script allows users to disable various AI components, including Copilot, Recall, Image Creator in Paint, and Voice Access, without installing external software.

The script functions by executing via Windows PowerShell as an administrator. It is designed to prevent the automatic reinstallation of these AI packages by making the operating system believe newer versions already exist. This tool addresses concerns regarding system performance, such as RAM and GPU consumption, as well as privacy issues related to continuous data analysis and typing insights.
