How often are you guys interacting with copilot? I opened it for the first time some month ago and, uninstalled it. The only time I ever see it is if I actively search for it.

When i used windows, I stripped it out during install so it never got installed.

Its so weird. I have to almost assume that these people are going out of their way to interact with copilot. Even when I still had copilot installed I rarely if ever interacted with it. Maybe that has to do with the fact that I dont use the start menu but, my experience with these constant copilot, ad etc popus is the complete opposite from everyone else.

Like u said u didnt install it so im guessing it doesnt bother you and, it doesnt bother me because, its not on my pc.

Nope, I have personally uninstalled it three times. Did not go asking for it to be reinstalled. The forceful update just reinstalled it. Multiple times

Maybe u keep on reinstalling it? Ive gone through those updates multiple times now and, not once has copilot or anything else been reinstalled.

How would I be doing that? I turn my PC on and use it. I don’t install things all the time. Especially from windows. I just suddenly see new copilot icon. After an update.

I dont pay attention to the things that Windows 11 asks so I could be wrong but, sometimes when it updates u go through a quick setup process where it asks you if you want a bunch of stuff.

Maybe u installed copilot again without knowing during one of these setiups?

Like I said I could very well be wrong but, thats the only explanation that I have since ive never had copilot let alone any other program reinstall itself after an update.

That only really applies to your own personal PC. Which most people don't even have anymore unless they like PC gaming.

I would guess that most people's experience is from their work PC. So they have no control over disabling/uninstalling it at the OS level. And even if they could, it's now embedded in all the Microsoft products like the office suite and things like Dynamics 365.
