Remove Windows AI

A script that turns off or removes Copilot, Recall and other built-in AI features in Windows 11.

New this week

What it does

Windows 11 includes AI features such as Copilot and Recall. This script aims to switch them off or remove them; its makers say the goal is better privacy, security and user experience.

It makes deep changes to Windows and can bring back classic versions of apps like Notepad and Paint. The makers suggest testing it in a virtual machine first and offer backup and revert modes.

Who it's for

Windows 11 users who don't want the built-in AI features.

Can I use it without coding?

With some setup. You paste one line into Windows PowerShell as an administrator, and a simple menu opens. New to this? Start here.
