CoPilot removed by recent Windows update

I thought CoPilot was basically spy and information gathering software. Same as CAPTCHA & others.

Well it is Microsoft product and it is free so....

Problem I see is that the next version of Windows will be the first totally AI OS. It is bad enough that browsers are using AI for searches, which often appear to be far slower than they were. As well as less helpful.

The Telemetry process is the actual "spy". Observe how many resources it consumes in the processes table.

Next major edition of Windows may be SaaS Virtual Desktop on thin client hardware, so totally managed and spied lol.

I received an update last night and this morning I still have CoPilot.

I received KB5062660 last night as well, and mine is still there.

See post #1
The issue was with a specific Windows 10 update back in March…not all updates.

Which brings to mind something I remember from the 1970s. Present company excepted, of course, but ...

"Artificial intelligence cannot cope with natural stupidity."

I would imagine that MS would be really underwhelmed by the response to a totally AI OS.

@Doc, I've a feeling a total AI OS would just be a rebranding of the "Porn hub" site?

And visa versa, but humans invented it and I don't know if that was stupid or smart. Maybe someday we'll all know.

I opened Word the other day, and was irritated by the copilot icon getting in the way. Help explained I could turn it off in options.
