I am not interested in giving you instructions that will likely break core functionality in Windows. Microsoft wound CoPilot around FILE EXPLORER. There’s no telling what else is broken or could be broken by future updates by removing it. They could also just slipstream it back in during an update defeating the purpose of removing it anyway.

You should devote your time and energy on moving people away from Windows instead. It’s incumbent on those that know how to teach those that don’t or the cycle of abuse Microsoft perpetuates against their users will never stop.

Enjoy supporting a hacked up and ruined version of Windows instead, genius.

@bflipp You realize your behavior here is one of the things so offputting about the fediverse, right? You could try to tone it down and stop presuming you have standing to decide how others reorient the stuff underlying their lives.

I pointed out the logical fallacy in your desire to maintain a broken Windows install instead of acclimating to a new OS right now. One that doesn’t require you to break it in order to use it in safety and privacy.

Moving away from Windows is the only truly correct decision to make. I’m not saying it’s easy but it’s less work and less effort than maintaining broken Windows installs for the sake of privacy. If you disagree that’s fine.
