This tool brings back Human Intelligence to Windows
RemoveWindowsAI is a PowerShell script on GitHub that aims to strip Windows 11 of built in AI features. It is made by a developer who goes by zoicware , and it is designed to run through a single command or a simple GUI wrapper.
The script exists because Windows 11 keeps adding AI features with each release, and 25H2 is the update people keep pointing at. A lot of Windows users are tired of constant AI features they did not ask for. RemoveWindowsAI is one answer to that frustration. It targets AI that shows up in the UI, and AI that sits deeper in packages and services.
Here is what it does, based on its own feature list. It can flip registry and policy switches to disable Copilot , Recall , and Input Insights typing data collection. It also targets Copilot inside Microsoft Edge , plus AI parts in apps like Paint (including Image Creator), Notepad (rewrite feature), Voice Access (AI voice effects), and AI in Settings search . It removes the AI Fabric Service and disables AI Actions. It can hide the “AI Components” settings page. It can remove Recall’s optional feature and forcibly remove Recall scheduled tasks.

The heavier parts are where this turns into a nuclear option. The script can remove AI Appx packages, including some labeled nonremovable, and it can also try to remove locked AI packages from the Windows CBS servicing store. It also claims it can install a custom Windows Update package meant to prevent AI packages from being reinstalled later. The project also includes a manual disablement guide, since not everything can be handled automatically.
We do not recommend tools like this for most users. If you are mainly tired of seeing Copilot or Copilot+ prompts, start with the simple route, uninstall the Copilot app where Windows allows it, or disable it through standard policy or registry controls. If you still want to experiment, install Windows in a free virtual machine tool like VirtualBox or Hyper-V first, and test the script there before you touch your main install.
