Windows 11 AI feature removal tools

Overview

Developments have emerged regarding methods for users to remove or disable artificial intelligence features from Windows 11.

Initially, the customization tool NTLite released an update allowing users to strip Copilot and Windows Recall from Windows 11 25H2 and later installation images. This process aims to reduce overall installation size and can be performed during image preparation or via a ‘Live edit mode’ on existing systems.

Subsequently, an open-source script named RemoveWindowsAI was identified as an alternative. Developed by Zoicware, this PowerShell-based tool enables users to disable components such as Copilot, Recall, Image Creator in Paint, and Voice Access. The script is designed to prevent the automatic reinstallation of these packages and addresses user concerns regarding privacy and system performance, specifically RAM and GPU consumption.
