Disable all AI features in Windows 11 25H2

[xroberx]

Hi,

I came across a project aimed at disabling all Windows 11 25H2 AI features (https://github.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI). I realize the PowerShell script used to disable these AI features is quite large, so I’m wondering if it could be integrated...

Best regards,
Robert.

Following the examples from that project, it should be possible to run that script by adding

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/main/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1"))) -nonInteractive -AllOptions

to the FirstLogon scripts section. Make sure to set its type to .ps1. This will automatically run the script with elevated permissions and in Windows PowerShell 5.1, as recommended by the author.

Great, thank you!

dang, looks like requires online, will look into if it can be broken down to run only from local

I'd like to try this, but a really noob question, where and what exactly should the script be inserted in the FirstLogin.ps1?

$scripts = @(
	{
		cmd.exe /c "rmdir C:\Windows.old";
	};
);

& {
  [float] $complete = 0;
  [float] $increment = 100 / $scripts.Count;
  foreach( $script in $scripts ) {
    Write-Progress -Activity 'Running scripts to finalize your Windows installation. Do not close this window.' -PercentComplete $complete;
    '*** Will now execute command «{0}».' -f $(
      $str = $script.ToString().Trim() -replace '\s+', ' ';
      $max = 100;
      if( $str.Length -le $max ) {
        $str;
      } else {
        $str.Substring( 0, $max - 1 ) + '…';
      }
    );
    $start = [datetime]::Now;
    & $script;
    '*** Finished executing command after {0:0} ms.' -f [datetime]::Now.Subtract( $start ).TotalMilliseconds;
    "`r`n" * 3;
    $complete += $increment;
  }
  
} *>&1 >> "C:\Windows\Setup\Scripts\FirstLogon.log";

Do not edit FirstLogin.ps1 yourself. Add the script in the form as follows:

That make sense!

You make it too easy. Thank you!

Security FYI

If you go to the GitHub UI view of the file:
https://github.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/blob/main/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1

You can press the key Y on your keyboard to get a specific commit ID of the file (the URL in the browser will change). This assumes that you have checked the script and that it looks OK.

After that, you can use the link which has the specific commit ID. Allows for a bit of piece of mind. In my case, the link looked like this:
https://github.com/zoicware/RemoveWindowsAI/blob/709bdb0a327e415da4ab2d29f82d41648d10b9d8/RemoveWindowsAi.ps1
