There's a way to remove it~

Go into the power shell

then paste in:

reg add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot /v "TurnOffWindowsCopilot" /t REG_DWORD /f /d 1

like this

Then restart. Also here is how to turn off the awful search suggestions:

How to Disable Windows Web Search and Speed Up Your PC

Stop the OS from pulling up web results when you just want files and apps.

incase anyone didnt know there's some great free software to handle disabling windows bloatware without needing to mess with the command line

With the freeware O&O ShutUp10++, unwanted Windows 10 and 11 features can be disabled and the transfer of sensitive personal data onto Micro

O&O AppBuster gives you the control back over your Windows again! Now you decide which apps you want on your computer.

these are a mandatory part of every windows install for me. been using them for years and it's such a lifesaver

[foxofninetales]

Because this has mostly been talked about with Windows 11, heads-up that this installed itself on every Windows 10 computer in our house with this week's update.

Edit: This appears to only apply to Copilot+, not regular Copilot (which is what hit my Windows 10 pcs). Still not a bad idea to axe Copilot anyway.

You can only choose one.

Personal Instant Teleportation

Voluntary Shapeshifting

Eternal Youth

Voting ended onNov 5, 2024

"Personal" instant teleportation here meaning only your person and your possessions that you happen to have on you will be transported; nothing bigger than a camping backpack's worth of objects of your same total body weight. You can't teleport other people or animals no matter what. Voluntary shapeshifting here meaning you can change your shape at will for however long you want without any negative effects as well as modifying your body however you want; not necessarily bound by creatures that exist. Eternal Youth here meaning your body will never age or decay (including cognitive faculties), so you can live forever as long as you fulfill your bodily needs. Your body can still experience changes, such as surgery or hormone replacement. You can still die by natural causes such as illness or injury. You're not immortal, you're just old. I love you.

OOUAYAGHHHHH

[valtsv]

SEETHING rn because when i was getting ready to go out my housemate saw my platform boots and told me "watch out for low-hanging branches" thinking he was being sooooooo funny and guess what i walked straight into on my way into town. well why don't you just fucking guess.

When I was little I had an irrational fear of when you tried to turn off your Windows XP and the screen would gradually turn Grey as you choose which power option to enter

That shit was SCARY!!!

[chronosamurai]

Me: ok, sleep time!

Windows XP:

[foone]

I would argue the Windows 95 one is scarier, because it's basically the same thing, right? it just dims the whole screen?

BUT NO! Windows 95 doesn't know that it's running at high enough color depth to even DO that, and calculating that would be slow anyway, this is an OS that can run on a 25mhz 486. So it cheats.

It's "screendoor transparency". It's a checkerboard of black squares. It's relying on the human eye to see that as dimming and not a grid. And it works! mostly. Especially on a relatively blurry CRT, since you wouldn't really have an LCD in 1995.

But it really messes up with text. Thin pixel fonts were all the rage on windows 95, which had a default resolution of 640x480. And a pixel font + a checkerboard grid?

The text bleeds. It becomes a blurred mess of difficult to read random pixels. On a nice photo background, it's just dimmed. On text, it feels like you're losing your mind and your literacy. Your ability to read is going away.

And Windows 95 just wants to know...

what scared me as a kid was this:

The thought of this spontaneously appearing on a computer screen in my bedroom in the middle of the night was horrifying.

(I was an anxious kid.)

I think the ambiguity of what "safe" means in this context did it for me. Does this mean that there are unsafe times to turn off your computer? Would turning off the computer when this image wasn't on the display hurt me??

[foone]

You'd really hate my customized version, then.
