I disabled Copilot in Windows 11 and reclaimed taskbar space, CPU time, and 200MB of RAM

Microsoft Copilot is intertwined with Windows 11, and the AI assistant is built into both the operating system and the apps you use daily. Whether you're using a Microsoft Copilot+ PC with at least 40 TOPS of on-device processing power like the Acer Swift Edge 14 AI or a run-of-the-mill Windows 11 PC, the Copilot assistant is a core part of the experience. However, it doesn't have to be. You can disable the Copilot app and more AI services in Windows 11 to reclaim system resources, storage space, and room on the taskbar.
