TBH I have a mixed feeling about this.

    I don’t know, when did it? I installed this update on Windows 11 and there’s a simple toggle in the settings to turn off the Copilot button on the taskbar. And even when it’s not disabled, I just don’t use it when I don’t want it to do something. This thread - like many others on this topic - is full of weird histrionics over this.

      Very naive understanding of what it actually does.

      If you are fine with being datamined by software and device you paid for, more power to you champ!

      I am sure you got nothing to hide and you don’t do any crime haha

        It’s basically a wrapper for Bing Chat. If anything I’m disappointed by how little it does. Possibly because I don’t have Microsoft Office, it has some integrations with that when doing searches through your data (this is a feature of Office rather than of Copilot, though). Do you have any sources indicating it’s doing more than that?
