How to Completely Remove Built-in AI Features from Windows 11

 

Throughout the past, one of the reasons many users disliked Windows 11, besides stability issues, was the unavoidable AI features Microsoft embedded. Even if some users didn't use them, they couldn't completely remove them; they could only be disabled or hidden. Finally, one developer found a way to seriously address this problem.

The "Remove Windows AI" project has recently become a widely discussed tool because it can remove almost all AI features from Windows 11, both visible and deep-seated system features. The developer, zoicware, states that this tool makes the user experience more private, lighter, and more secure.

What can Remove Windows AI do?

This tool can disable or remove numerous AI components, such as:

*Disabling Copilot
*Disabling the Recall feature
*Disabling Input Insights and typing data logging
*Disabling Copilot in Microsoft Edge
*Removing AI-powered image creation in Paint
*Removing the AI ​​Fabric service
*Disabling AI Actions
*Disabling AI capabilities in Paint
*Disabling AI Voice Access
*Disabling AI-powered sound effects
*Disabling AI-powered search in Settings

In addition to general features... RemoveWindowsAI also prevents Windows from downloading and reinstalling AI components via CBS. It can also remove AI appx packages to reduce storage space, as well as old installation files, registry entries, and any remaining excess files.

Interested users can download this tool directly from GitHub. For novice users, the developers have also provided a detailed video tutorial. This tool is an excellent solution for those who want to use Windows 11 "without AI."

However, this tool is not a suitable solution for all users. Removing system-level features may affect some aspects of Windows 11 functionality and could compromise the performance of future AI-dependent services or features. Users should back up their data and familiarize themselves with the tool before completely removing AI from their system to avoid potential problems.
