Remove Windows Ai

Why?

In Windows 11 22H2 Microsoft began adding AI features like Copilot and Recall. Since then, additional AI driven components have been added, many of which have never been publicly documented. This script aims to remove ALL of these features to improve user experience, privacy and security.

[!WARNING] Some third party anti-viruses will falsely detect the script as malicious, obviously this is a false positive and the anti-virus will need to be temporarily disabled or set the script as an exclusion.

Due to the nature of making advanced changes to the system many debloat tools/scripts will be falsely detected as malware... if you are unsure about the script I always recommend testing any software in a virtual machine first
