"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.
@nixCraft the script removes Windows and install Linux? 🤣
@nixCraft I did on my Win11 company laptop (with local admin rights). Right after the script did its thing, the company IT watchdog Crowdstrike disconnected me from the net....
@nixCraft
Much better than my little rmai.cmd file that relies on winget and other CLI tools.
@nixCraft Good thing Windows Iot doesn't get AI features
@nixCraft or... Don't use Windows
@nixCraft @briankrebs Umm, you shouldn’t run this on a work computer. That’s your employer’s machine, not yours, and you shouldn’t be messing with it (if it even lets you).
@nixCraft I’ve tested this on a VM; be warned that it does download some cab files and installs them as features. I cracked them open and they just seem to be signed manifest files, but that could change….
Other than that, I found it to be a very comprehensive AI removal script with a few neat tricks used to get rid of stubborn packages. I have seen no explanation for the cab files though.
@nixCraft Never do that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_3Yp2Izhks

@nixCraft 'tis why I stick with Linux.
@nixCraft hmm... I may need to mine this for anything else to add to my "AI Control" policy at work.
Please don't leak protected information to the the oligarchs.
@nixCraft 62 forks and ~2100 stars. Lol.
I wish I had reliable internet to worry about Windows AI. My kids struggle with basic online education in our refugee camp
Okay, but when you're forced to use Win11 at work, you're either not granted to apply such mods on your workstation
When Charles Koch is working to impose AI features, you know it's awful...
Gates (net worth: $116.9 billion)
Charles Koch ($67.5 billion)
Steve Ballmer ($142.5 billion)
Intuit founder Scott Cook ($7.7 billion)
Hedge fund investor John Overdeck ($7.4 billion)
Fortunately, I can not test this.
@nixCraft nope, much appreciated! Some of us are doing cross-platform developing and testing and -- this stuff is *really* in the way when you're virtualizing, too.
@nixCraft hm, while I'm totally supporting this endeavor, running downloaded powershell scripts as admin makes my security spidey senses very uneasy!
@nixCraft If you want to take few more steps, install AtlasOS instead.
I wish I had a stable computer to worry about Windows AI. My kids' education suffers due to limited internet access in the refugee camp.
@nixCraft it took... comically little time for someone to make this 
@nixCraft it's an irony that it's hosted on github 😅
