i am willing to bet it was deliberate, but as a way to catch more users who refuse to upgrade from Win10 BECAUSE of Copilot. once they get more users to adopt, they simply put it back in, in one of their updates

I think they just made a release without it (for EU or stuff) and either forgot to turn in back on for regular releases, or it didn't because of a bug.

Honestly this sounds like a veteran MS dev who wanted to ensure he had a good ISO build of windows to install without AI shit down the line after he retired. Props to whatever MS dev (or devs) made this happen

This is like a vet telling me they accidentally removed a life threatening tumor in my dog while doing something else.

Like damn not sure how you did that by accident but wait what don't try to put it back what the hell?

Also did you just put ads INSIDE MY DOG? What the hell is wrong with you?

Completely unrelated segue, but your comment reminded me of this one vet appointment I had with my dog.

He was in for having his teeth cleaned, and came out with his claws trimmed. They managed to cut into his quick on five claws. I don't even know how they managed to do that, I don't do that and I don't have the advantage of him being sedated when I clip them. Then they had the absolute gall to charge me for trimming his claws.

To top it all off; I had an appointment booked with the groomer next-door a couple of days after that so their "service" was unwarranted and unwelcome.

If it's a choice between AI-accelerated cores and nothing, sure, but that silicon space could have been used for AVX-512 or a bigger cache instead.

Update KB5053598 is a very simple update that includes “miscellaneous security improvements to internal OS functionality” as well as a servicing stack update. It’s rather basic then but it seemingly introduced a bug that saw Copilot being removed from the operating system.

Is it possible that somehow some component in the update or some dev at Microsoft found Copilot to be too intrusive security-wise and decided to uninstall it ?
