I actually update Windows plenty and it's still never forced itself onto my system.

I just got it this morning on my Win10 PC. I'm fucking pissed!

i update windows literally every time it asks. i don't have copilot or one drive. You people don't know how to work your computers.

Thanks, pcmasterrace seems to have a computer literacy problem as of late, along with a constant bitching problem.

along with a constant bitching problem.

But I thought that was the whole reason for Reddit's existence! /s

I think it can depend on other factors like what type of pc you have... On my desktop computer I never have had the issue but on my surface laptop one drive and copilot show up after I had previously uninstalled both

My only guess is because my laptop had windows 11 installed in the factory it does it. Not sure why

I'm guessing it's also a region thing. When I was using Windows 10, Cortana was not available at all and it was refering to the language (or region?) not being supported. Probably the same thing happens to Copilot as it didn't show itself yet for me at least. I live in Hungary.

I hate to break it to you, but windows is just fucky like this. If windows sees the registry is malformed, and onedrive is removed, it will just reinstall it next update. Onedrive and now Copilot have hooks all over Windows's Explorer manager, and it will cry all the way to root if you pull stuff out.

Please look into the hell that is trying to remove Edge if you want to see how bad Windows can be with removing stuff.

Exact same sentiment here. People talk about all this bloat re-installing itself, ads, etc. Never seen any of it. Not sure if it's a regional thing, version of Windows (Home vs Pro), or just user incompetence, but my Windows experience is much different/better compared to a lot of the shit I see on Reddit.

never update windows

I swear, the average IQ of redditors has got to be in the negatives at this point.
