Might be a bit outdated, but:
What AI features does the laptop provide to windows? I’m not familiar with it. If it’s just extending the default AI features like Recall and Copilot, try following PG’s community wiki on windows group policies.
To change policies, the guide states that you will require Pro edition or better. If you do not have that edition installed, I suggest you reinstall with it. Education edition is also viable, as it is “equivalent to Enterprise.”[1] However, I believe you will not have the option to disable Recall with Education edition. Maybe it’s because that edition already does not have Recall? Someone else will have to confirm this. Here are the relevant policies if you do not want to look at the guide:
- Open
gpedit.msc - To disable shitpilot, navigate to:
Local Computer Policy→User Configuration→Administrative Templates→Windows Components→Windows Copilot→Turn off Windows Copilot
2a. SelectEnabledand clickOK - To disable shitcall, navigate to:[2]
Local Computer Policy→Computer Configuration→Administrative Templates→Windows Components→Windows AI→Turn off saving snapshots of Windows
3a. SelectEnabledand clickOK
This post from ElevenForum is more recent (2025/12/24) and seems to have some additional policies to change, if you want to look at it.
There seems to be some disrepancies as to what the shitcall policy is called. That ElevenForum post sees it as Allow Recall to be enabled while PG’s community wiki sees it as Turn off saving snapshots of Windows. Maybe they are different policies, or maybe they are the same policies and one of them is an outdated name. I can’t confirm since I am running Education edition, not Pro edition.

As mentioned above: if you are running Education edition, this will probably not pop up. I am running that edition and this is nowhere to be seen for me. ↩︎
