Any simple way to remove all new AI stuff on Copilot+ PC?

I don't like these staff on my laptop. I also noticed a bunch of Workload processes (named WorkloadHost and WorkloadHostManager) that were using a lot of CPU and memory. They seem to be related to the Settings AI search. To disable them, you need to stop and disable the WSAIFabricSvc service.

    Open Settings:
    Press Windows + I.
    Navigate to Privacy & Security:
    Go to Privacy & Security > General.
    Turn Off "Show suggestions using Windows Copilot":
    If you see an option related to Copilot or AI suggestions, toggle it off.

    If you don't like it, you can uninstall Copilot and related AI components. If you don't want to see it in the system, you can choose to reinstall the system, but remember to skip the installation of AI components.
