NTLite strips Copilot and AI from Windows 11, giving you control over 25H2 installs
Windows Central reports that NT Lite’s latest update (v2026.04.10936) lets users strip AI features like Copilot and Windows Recall from Windows 11 version 25H2 images, shrinking install sizes and enabling pre-install or live-edit customization. While Microsoft continues to fold AI into Windows (e.g., AI agents in Taskbar and Xbox mode), NT Lite provides an option to remove AI components for those seeking a leaner OS. The tool supports ISO/WIM/ESD/SWM formats and warns that removing critical components can cause boot issues, so testing in a VM and creating restore points is advised.
