Microsoft's integration of artificial intelligence features into Windows 11 has led to the creation of the RemoveWindowsAI project by developers.

RemoveWindowsAI is an open-source tool available on GitHub, designed to remove or disable AI components in Windows 11. It provides users with detailed control over AI features, including the ability to remove or disable Copilot , Windows Recall , and other AI functionalities.

Copilot & Recall Removal: Disables Copilot and prevents the Recall feature from running background tasks. App-Specific Cleaning: Removes AI integrations from specific applications, such as the Photos app and Microsoft Edge browser. Startup & Tasks: Blocks AI processes from launching at system startup and deletes scheduled AI-related tasks. Safety & Recovery: Provides backup and revert modes for restoring original Windows settings. System-Wide Reach: Applies AI blocking settings to new user profiles and cleans up system registry keys. Advanced Removal: Utilizes a TrustedInstaller fallback method to bypass Windows protections.

Up to January 6, 2026, developers have enhanced the tool's functionality by addressing package installation issues and improving the TrustedInstaller fallback mechanism. Recent updates have expanded AI-disabling capabilities for new user profiles and improved management of Edge browser flags for non-English installations.

The RemoveWindowsAI project is open-source and invites contributions from the community. The tool is available on GitHub , where documentation provides details on installation and usage options for both removing and reverting AI features.
