Windows 365 Copilot nag screen on Windows 10

My gaming PC died the other day. It's one of those annoying things about SSD's. They just die instantly. So to get my computer back, I had to reinstall Windows 10. After re-installing, there was a super annoying nag-screen telling me to install Windows 365 Copilot. This is not ordinary .exe file, so I had a hard time preventing it from running on startup. The I realized that this can be uninstalled from the Control Panel like any other App. While there I uninstalled a few more Windows bare-bones apps.
I might install Copilot at some point, but I have no interest in getting spammed every time my computer starts up. Just sharing in case others don't want Microsoft's sales pich in their face every time they turn on their computer.
