I logged on to my father's computer today to fix a few things for him and was immediately overwhelmed with all the Windows bloat. This includes copilot and... so... much... more... 😖

One trick I found is disabling edge (renaming the install folder) basically disables half the bloat from even running, your copilot button just doesn't even load in

So weird that so much is integrated into a web browser.
