How to completely remove all AI features on Windows 11

• The Remove Windows AI script removes and disables nearly all AI features on Windows 11.
• It targets Copilot, Recall, app AI components, and system packages.
• Also, it includes options to revert changes or block AI components from reinstalling.

On Windows 11, the Remove Windows AI script offers a streamlined way to disable nearly all system-level AI features and remove their underlying components. This guide explains how the script works and how to use it.

Microsoft continues to expand AI integration across Windows 11, which can feel excessive for users who prefer a more traditional or privacy-focused experience. While the operating system includes options to turn off certain AI capabilities, the process is fragmented and does not actually remove the AI components installed on the system.

The Remove Windows AI script, available on GitHub and developed by independent contributors, automates the process to remove and disable these features. It targets system-wide AI integrations, including Copilot, Recall, and AI-powered enhancements in apps such as Microsoft Edge, Paint, Voice Access, Notepad, and the Settings app.

Beyond disabling features, the script also installs a custom package to block Windows 11 from restoring the AI components during updates, removes AI-related appx packages and files, and hides the “AI components” section in the Settings app.

In this guide, I’ll outline the steps to use the third-party script to remove the Windows 11 AI features.

To get rid of the AI features on Windows 11, follow these steps:

1. Open Start.

2. Search for PowerShell (or Terminal), right-click the top result, and choose the Run as administrator option.

3. (Option 1) Type this command to disable and remove the AI features on Windows 11 and press Enter:

   & ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/main/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1"))) -nonInteractive -backupMode -AllOptions

   

4. Restart the computer.

5. (Option 2) Type this command to revert the changes (if applicable) and press Enter:

   & ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/main/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1"))) -nonInteractive -revertMode -AllOptions

6. Restart the computer.

7. (Option 3) Type this command to get rid of the AI features without the option to revert the changes and press Enter:

   & ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/main/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1"))) -nonInteractive -AllOptions

8. Restart the computer.

9. (Option 4) Type this command to disable and remove specific AI features from Windows 11 and press Enter:

   & ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/main/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1"))) -nonInteractive -Options DisableRegKeys,RemoveNudgesKeys

   Quick note: These are all the possible options: DisableRegKeys, PreventAIPackageReinstall, DisableCopilotPolicies, RemoveAppxPackages, RemoveRecallFeature, RemoveCBSPackages, RemoveAIFiles, HideAIComponents, DisableRewrite, RemoveRecallTasks.

10. Restart the computer.

Once you complete the steps, the script will run to disable and remove virtually every AI feature available on Windows 11.

It’s important to note that the script only removes features that are already available on Windows 11. If a new feature is introduced, the script would need to be updated.

You can run the script with different commands, but it’s recommended to use the first option since it offers a way to revert the changes using the second option. The third and fourth options do not offer a way to undo the changes.

FAQs about removing all AI features on Windows 11

Here’s a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) and answers about running a third-party script to disable and remove AI features on Windows 11.

What is the Remove Windows AI script?

It is a third-party PowerShell script that disables and removes most AI features and components built into Windows 11, including Copilot, Recall, and AI app integrations.

Is the script supported by Microsoft?

No. This is an independent script not created or endorsed by Microsoft. You use it at your own risk.

What AI features can the script remove?

It targets system-level AI features such as Copilot, Recall, AI packages, appx components, and AI enhancements found in apps like Edge, Paint, Notepad, Voice Access, and Settings.

Does the script completely remove AI from Windows 11?

It removes or disables nearly all existing AI components, packages, and files. If Microsoft adds new AI features in future updates, the script must be updated to handle them.

Can I revert the changes?

Yes, but only if the script was run using the backup mode option. This creates a backup that allows you to restore the removed AI components with the revert command.

What happens if I use the non-reversible command?

The script removes the AI features without creating a backup, which means you cannot undo the changes without reinstalling Windows or restoring from a full system backup.

Does the script prevent AI components from reinstalling?

Yes. It installs a custom package that blocks Windows Update from restoring AI features during system updates.

Is it safe to run the script?

The script is widely used but not officially supported. It makes deep system modifications, so creating a full backup of your computer beforehand is strongly recommended.

Where does the script come from?

It is hosted on GitHub by independent developers who maintain and update the tool.

Do I need to restart my PC after running the script?

Yes. A system restart is required to finish removing or restoring AI components.
