Getting rid of OneDrive and CoPilot

Windows

Let's get rid of OneDrive and CoPilot. Who needs that crap...

Unfortunately, Microsoft may at random decide to reinstall it... sigh.


OneDrive

Settings / Apps / Installed Apps / Microsoft OneDrive / Uninstall

...because Microsoft might use it as an excuse to install other crap...


CoPilot

Settings / Apps / Installed Apps / CoPilot / Uninstall

...because nobody needs this crap...


Startup

And whilst we are doing then, let's visit the apps that are launched during startup and kill those unneccesary...

Settings / Apps / Startup

 

Where I removed...

- AutoDetector - Ulead

- Microsoft Edge - Microsoft

- MS-Teams


Winaero Tweaker

This tool may help you remove more Windows crap.

You'll find its homepage here.

Be careful though... the whole website is spammed with banners and logos that try to make you download something else.

Last time I checked, I found the real download on this page.


Ronin

This is another tool that might help clean up stuff.

You'll find the homepage here.

I never found Github very comfortable. To get to a downloadable version of Ronin, you have to click on Code / Tags / Releases... Yeah. It ain't obvious.

Here's a direct link.
