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. I used search engines to see if others had found a way to stop the Copilot advertising to run at startup, but found nothing. Then I had a facepalm moment when I realized that this can be uninstalled from the Control Panel like any other App. While there I also uninstalled a few more preinstalled Windows apps. It's been a while since that machine was as responsive as this?

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 day.
