How to remove Copilot and other AI features in Windows
If you don't care about having extra bloatware on your system, there are ways to remove or disable Windows Copilot on Windows 11.
This year's big feature update for Windows 11 - 24H2 - is now officially available. The update includes a bunch of new features and improvements, but sadly, they're not available to all eligible users right away. Microsoft is rolling out the update gradually, which means many people will have to wait a few weeks or even months to get Windows 11 version 24H2. If your PC is eligible and you want to try Windows 11 24H2 right now, here's how to do it.
But first, it's worth noting that your system may not "see" Windows 11 version 24H2 due to a blocking issue. Check out the list of known bugs before attempting to download and install Windows 11 24H2. Applying a workaround may remove the block, or you'll have to wait until Microsoft fixes the bug that's preventing you from updating.
Option 1 — Download Windows 11 24H2 from Windows Update
1. To use this method, you need to have the May 2024 non-security update for Windows 11.
2. Open Settings and go to Windows Update .
3. Enable the " Get the latest updates as soon as they're available " option and confirm the action.
4. Click " Check for updates ". Windows will look for available updates and if your system is eligible, it will offer to download Windows 11 24H2.
5. Click download and wait for the process to complete.
Note: Windows 11 version 24H2 is a full system update, so installing it might take longer than installing a regular cumulative update.
Option 2 — download Windows 11 24H2 using Installation Assistant
1. Visit the official Windows 11 download website using this link .
2. Find the " Windows 11 Installation Assistant " section.
3. Click " Download Now ".
4. Visit this website to download Microsoft's PC Health Check app. The installation assistant won't let you update without checking if your system is eligible, even if you're already on Windows 11.
5. Install the PC Health Check app and run it. Click check and make sure your system is compatible with Windows 11.
6. Close the PC Health Check application and launch the downloaded .exe file.
7. Click " Accept and Install ".
8. Wait for the process to complete. The application will prompt you to restart after the preparation process is complete.
Option 3 — update to Windows 11 24H2 using official images
If your computer is unable to update to Windows 11 24H2 using the methods above, forcing an update using an ISO via an in-place update would be a solution, although it may not be the best option. Microsoft may have a compatibility hold or a known issue that prevents your system from updating. In such a case, forcing a Windows 11 24H2 installation may result in a poor user experience, serious crashes, instability, or broken applications. Think carefully before proceeding.
1. Visit the official Windows 11 download website using this link .
2. Scroll down to the " Download Windows 11 Disk Image " section.
3. Select " Windows 11 " from the drop-down menu and click " Download now ".
4. Select the language you need.
5. Click " 64-bit Download " and wait for the browser to download the ISO file.
6. Double-click on the downloaded image and launch the setup.exe file .
7. Wait for the application to prepare the system, then click " Settings " on the " Ready to install " screen .
Those are the ways you can download Windows 11 version 24H2 without waiting for Microsoft approval.
