DoNotSpy11 can now turn off Windows Copilot and other tracking features

Microsoft Copilot.

In the continuing war for your data, and amidst increasing privacy concerns regarding Windows 11 and some of its more controversial features, there are some who continue to dedicate themselves to undoing what has already been done. Amongst the numerous guides and applications designed to stop Windows from continuing to gather telemetry on its users, DoNotSpy11 stands out as a popular and somewhat comprehensive solution, and with the latest update it just became a whole lot more powerful.

DoNotSpy11 is an anti-tracking utility designed to target and disable just about every data tracking and advertising setting within Windows, and now with the latest 1.2.0.0 update (via Tom's Hardware) it's capable of disabling Microsoft's latest AI addition, Copilot, with a mere check of a tickbox. Given that Copilot has only been released for general usage in the past few days, this is perhaps reflective of some of the unease surrounding the feature as a whole.
