      They didn’t remove Copilot, they removed Copilot *branding*, meaning they renamed the Copilot functions to something different (in the case of notepad, it is now „Writing Tools“). In essence, the bloated AI bullshit is being left in but they’re renaming it to muddy the waters in any discussions or criticism towards them unnecessarily contaminating everything with their their slop tools.

      Yeah this feels less like removal and more like rebranding to reduce backlash
      When users reject the label, you just ship the same feature under a quieter name
      Big companies don’t kill features, they reposition them until people stop noticing
      “AI fatigue” is real, but the infra bet isn’t going anywhere
      They’re not backing off AI, they’re just lowering the noise while keeping the leverage

      Typical Microsoft.

      Q: „They don’t like the taste of shit. What do we do?“

      A: „Sprinkle some MSG on it and feed it to them again!“

      Too late. I already switched to Linux Fedora and regret not doing it sooner.

      I moved my 1st PC over to Linux (Mint) and am getting quite used to it now. Its not as daunting as it used to be to move to Linux.

      Microsoft days are numbered in my house now.

      Why is this a big deal? Can’t you just turn it off alrrady in the settings? Why are some poeple unhappy about a button that can be removed in the settings?

      They will just rename all the tools to something else, but the broken AI bloat will remain. CoPilot has left a bad taste in users mouths and now Microslop needs to redirect.

      Dont care anymore. I’ve installed linux and all the troubles disappeared. Windows is OS of the past.

      Why did we ever need Copilot in Notepad and snipping tool of all places???  

    17. ImportantDirt1796 on

      Copilot in Notepad was peak „feature bloat nobody asked for.“ They keep on slapping AI anywhere they can think of if this is true they are admitting the strategy didn’t work.

      If there’s something Microsoft is gonna do, it is to play name games.

      I’ve used windows as a casual daily user since windows 3.1 

      I never intentionally used CoPilot or ever had its function described, demonstrated, or modeled by one of my more techy friends.

      Copilot reminds me of the Paper Clip from earlier Windows and Office… something forced on users but never used.

      As a long-time pro dev on Windows, I’ve tried copilot for many things. The only real success was a very simple PowerShell script that still took too long to write. Also, it generally is better than Google’s AI at image editing, although it takes literally about 20-100 times longer to complete a task. Which is fine, because those same tasks on Google just fail completely.

      Perhaps now they remove the requirements to upgrade that made older machines obsolete

      Too late MicroSlop, we don’t trust you not to sneak more slop in later.

    27. cabbages212 on

      That’s funny. It sneakily reinstalled itself on Tuesday. Check your pc’s and purge

      Why does snipping tool need copilot ? I used it to make screenshots to put in emails, i don’t need copilot for that.

    32. ItsRainbow on

      They can rebrand their slop tools all they want, but I already switched to CachyOS a year ago

    33. Enderkr on

      Not that it matters, as I can’t even *use* the snipping tool lately. It lets me highlight an area to snip, and then just errors at me when I select it. Fucking Windows is such shit.

    34. vm_linuz on

      Why use an OS that has made it clear they only care what users want when there’s significant backlash?

      Windows has not been a productive OS since Windows 8 and I’m glad people are finally realizing.
