In summary:
- PCWorld reports that Microsoft is quietly testing a new Windows 11 feature allowing users to uninstall AI components through a dedicated button in System settings.
- This experimental feature, discovered by beta testers in an Insider build, helps users reclaim significant disk space by removing unwanted AI bloat.
- The rollout timeline for general Windows 11 users remains unknown, but it represents improved user control over system features.
If you don’t want all the AI features that come with a new Windows 11 computer, you’ll soon have a simple way to get rid of them. Neowin reports that the latest experimental Windows 11 Insider build includes a new button for uninstalling AI components.
The new button wasn’t included in Microsoft’s official changelog for the latest preview version, but was discovered by well-known Windows beta tester phantomofearth under AI components in System settings. Each AI component will soon have a clear uninstall button that you can easily use to free up more storage on your computer.
However, it’s unclear when the new AI uninstall button will actually be rolled out to Windows 11 general users. Since Microsoft itself has not yet mentioned it in the beta tests, it may still be a way off.
