It installed itself on my laptop during the last update. Anyone know how to remove it? Will uninstall actually get rid of it?

I don't have a Windows 11 machine available, so I can't get you the exact command, but this should get you there.
It should remove it from all users on the laptop, and (hopefully!) prevent it from coming back:

Open Powershell and run:
Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online | Where-Object {$_.displayname -like "*Copilot*"}

Copy the Package Name entry and run the following command, with PACKAGENAME replaced by what you just copied:
Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online -packagename PACKAGENAME

In the EU you can just uninstall it.

Fuck I just set up a Windows Server 2022, because Space Engineers Dedicated Server is officially supported under Windows only.

You could try running it in wine

how could it be installed on a 2022 server if copilot launched in 2023?
