Microsoft is silently installing Copilot onto Windows Server 2022 (mastodon.gamedev.place)

This is a ridiculous statement. Copilot should be opt-in, not opt-out and the setting is new.

Perfectly reasonable by the sysadmin to not have that already set.

Like I said, Microsoft shouldn’t do that crap. BUT the co-pilot setting has been around for 6 months. Long enough for any halfway decent sysadmin.

[–] bitfucker@programming.dev 4 points 7 months ago

Then my next question would be, does that update on the change logs? Does the change log notify the admin that in the future, copilot may be installed if they didn't touch those settings?
