A script designed to disable AI components in Windows 11 has gained significant popularity, highlighting user concerns over privacy and performance. Developed by zoicware and hosted on GitHub, the 'RemoveWindowsAI' tool allows users to disable AI features in applications like Copilot and Recall by modifying registry entries and removing AppX packages. The script, which supports Windows 11 25H2 and newer, has received over 12,000 likes and 300,000 views following a viral post on X. The tool's rise in popularity reflects dissatisfaction with Microsoft's AI strategy, as users seek to manage resource consumption and data collection. Despite Microsoft's claims that its AI features enhance productivity and prioritize user control, the script's engagement suggests a strong demand for more user autonomy in managing AI integrations. Microsoft has not commented on the script, which has quickly amassed 938 stars and 25 forks on GitHub.
