    Honestly this sounds like a veteran MS dev who wanted to ensure he had a good ISO build of windows to install without AI shit down the line after he retired. Props to whatever MS dev (or devs) made this happen

    That’s a feature Microsoft. Start removing more crap and you might have an actual OS and not just a complicated slow overpriced billboard.

    Too late. I already jumped ship because of Copilot’s “Recall”, and I’m not interested in going through a round of partitioning the hard drive and installing a new OS so soon.

    Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality” as well as a servicing stack update. It’s rather basic then but it seemingly introduced a bug that saw Copilot being removed from the operating system.

    Is it possible that somehow some component in the update or some dev at Microsoft found Copilot to be too intrusive security-wise and decided to uninstall it ?
