Despite previously stating I wouldn't bother downloading preview updates, I couldn't help myself. Downloaded, updated, no issues whatsoever.

Read this thread: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/epic-fail-trying-to-remove-copilot-and-bing-completely-from-win-11-pro.47435/#post-749869 As a native English speaker resident in the UK which is not part of the European Union, I naturally chose Ireland as they of course are in the EU. Many I...

@Digidoc I'm running Windows 11 Pro 25H2 without any problems whatsoever. I 'debloated' by setting my PC up as if it were in a EU country, thus giving me the option to uninstall elements of MS programs which I neither want nor need without having to resort to using third party programs or...

I use CCleaner v.7.8.1355.0 (latest version) and it gives me no issues whatsoever using it alongside MS own cleanup tools.

Yes, but using OOBE you can keep your personal files etc but you must follow the tutorial for it implicitly. Usual, back everything up first. No IP conflict, no VPN involved, no mismatch, just run OOBE and select a EU Country of your choice. Obviously Ireland for me was a natural choice being a...

I used the OOBE (Out of Box Experience) method to allow me to have the option of uninstalling Edge and Copilot. I did this using official MS methods so that my PC device region is now showing as being a EU Country (Ireland) instead of the UK. I could have used other methods but I chose the...

O&O ShutUp! doesn't remove Copilot, it merely disables it as far as I know. At present, on my system, Copilot is disabled. I do however have the option to uninstall Copilot because of EU Digital Markets Act option. I haven't suffered any negative effects using O&O ShutUp! since I installed it...

To be fair, it’s Microsoft’s tea party 🤷‍♂️

As a direct result of seeing this thread, I've just set up my Brother MFC-L2750DW using Windows Ready Print and everything is working just fine. (y) I have of course uninstalled all of the Brother bloatware that I had previously installed prior to enabling Windows Ready Print.

I'm genuinely curious? Why? Ok, I accept a browser choice is just that, a choice, but it would be interesting to know why Brave warrants just those two words? From a personal perspective, having used Google, Edge and Firefox previously, I'm now sold on Brave. Been using it for over a year now...

I have a spare NVME slot on my board but I genuinely at this time, have no reason to fill it. I've also realised reading this thread, that it's clearly frequented by retirees! I'm 58 and retired and I now have to sit through this all day :LOL:

I think there might be a misunderstanding by some about how uninstalling Edge perhaps isn’t the nuclear option some would have others believe. MS has to provide the option for many countries to uninstall Edge because they are required to do so and that involves not making Windows unusable or...

I disabled Copilot by using O&O Shutup! As for Bing, I don't have that or any widgets, because I uninstalled Edge. However that might be a bridge too far for some! But as has been posted, try a specific uninstaller.

Which is fine if you want to block Edge. Some of us just don't want it and prefer the option to just uninstall Edge, period.
