Microsoft rolls back some of its Copilot AI bloat on Windows

Microsoft's admitting defeat. They jammed Copilot into Photos, Widgets, Notepad—basically everywhere—and users *hated* it. Now they're quietly rolling it back because bloatware kills trust, even when it's AI bloatware.

Here's the thing: not every app needs a copilot button. Forcing AI into tools where it adds friction instead of value is how you train users to ignore your AI. Microsoft learned this the hard way.

The real lesson nobody talks about? If your AI feature requires users to go out of their way to disable it, you've already lost. Good features don't need aggressive entry points.
