📥 Installation

Option 1: Download Release (Recommended)

  1. Go to Releases
  2. Download WinAIRemovalTool.exe
  3. Run as Administrator

Option 2: Run from Source

git clone https://github.com/waar19/win-ai-tools.git
cd win-ai-tools
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py

🔨 Building from Source

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+
  • pip

Build Steps

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install pyinstaller pillow

pyinstaller --clean app.spec

The executable will be in dist/WinAIRemovalTool.exe

🛡️ How It Works

The application modifies Windows settings through:

  1. Registry Keys - Modifies HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER policies
  2. Appx Packages - Removes Microsoft AI-related packages
  3. Windows Features - Disables optional Windows features like Recall

All changes are reversible through the backup/restore functionality.

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Run as Administrator - Required to modify system settings
  • Create Backup First - Always backup before making changes
  • Windows Updates - Some settings may reset after major Windows updates
  • SmartScreen Warning - Windows may show a warning for unsigned executables
