TL;DR: Open Windows PowerShell (Admin) (use PowerShell 5.1, not PowerShell 7), then run:
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/main/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1")))
Use the script’s UI toggles to disable/remove AI features (Copilot, Recall, AI Actions, etc.). If you want an easy rollback later, run it with Backup Mode first, then use Revert Mode to undo changes.
What RemoveWindowsAI can do
According to the project documentation and Tom’s Hardware, RemoveWindowsAI can target a wide range of Windows 11 AI features, including Copilot, Recall, AI Actions, and various AI-related packages/registry items.
Before you run it (important)
1) Create a restore point or backup. The script makes deep system changes.
2) Use Windows PowerShell 5.1. The README warns PowerShell 7 can cause issues.
3) Expect antivirus alerts. Some third-party AV tools may flag it (possible false positives).
4) Want a clean rollback? Enable Backup Mode before applying options to fully revert later.
Option A (recommended): Run it with the UI
Step 1: Open Windows PowerShell as Administrator.
Step 2: Paste and run this command:
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/main/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1")))
This launches the UI where you can toggle what you want to remove/disable.

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm 'https://kutt.it/RWAI')))
Option B: Run it non-interactive (automation)
Run everything
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/main/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1"))) -nonInteractive -AllOptions
Run only specific actions
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/main/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1"))) -nonInteractive -Options DisableRegKeys,RemoveNudgesKeys,RemoveAppxPackages
Options listed in the README
DisableRegKeys
PreventAIPackageReinstall
DisableCopilotPolicies
RemoveAppxPackages
RemoveRecallFeature
RemoveCBSPackages
RemoveAIFiles
HideAIComponents
DisableRewrite
RemoveRecallTasks
Backup Mode + Revert Mode (recommended if you’re cautious)
Apply changes with Backup Mode enabled
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/main/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1"))) -nonInteractive -backupMode -AllOptions
Revert changes later
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/main/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1"))) -nonInteractive -revertMode -AllOptions
Quick checks after running
Copilot: Confirm Copilot is gone/disabled (the script targets it).
Recall: Confirm Recall is removed/disabled (and related tasks if you used that option).
Notepad Rewrite: If you used DisableRewrite, open Notepad and check that AI rewrite is no longer available.
Final notes
The author notes the script targets the newest stable Windows build, and Insider-only features may not be included until they reach stable releases. If you’re unsure, testing in a VM first is a smart move.
