A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I asked it how to uninstall itself. It responded with the command line. I copy and pasted (this was probably dangerous, given that LLMs lie, but whatever). Now I no longer have it on my task bar. This is sort of like the open edge to get Firefox deal I’ve always had when using a fresh install.
There's a button for it in taskbar settings.
The Taskbar setting just hides it, no? Sounds like the previous commentor uninstalled it completely.
OP didn't post what code they put in, and they only said it was "gone from my taskbar," not that they had ensured it was nowhere on their system.
The code easily could have just flicked the button in settings.
We have no idea without the code in question.
Also, even if its fully removed, Microsoft will just re-install it next update anyway? Like they do with everything the fuck else you manually remove?
