I guess they figured out where people clicked a lot and put the button there?

Looking forward to the Google search trends for "disable copilot"

Clippy never really went away, he's just been evolving this whole time into something more and more annoying with each new iteration.

It’s too bad that the year of the linux desktop has been so long in the coming. Because now, it really is far superior to windows. Bluetooth, printers, and games even “just work” these days.

Win+d, I wasn't even aware there was an icon for it. If it's not the date, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or VPN, I'm all keys

can this be hidden via registry or group policy?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

You can hide it via normal settings.

I've already switched to Linux partially. My PC now dual boots to Manjaro and Windows. I won't switch completely, but it's great to have such an awesome alternative right there one click of a button away. And the funny thing is that I'm not even the only one amongst my friends to do that. We are now three already and we even game on Linux too.

Sorry about all the dorks here. You spotted a problem and proposed a solution and rather than propose better solutions people are just bitching about the suggested solution without offering better ideas.

I can't run a lot of games with anti-cheat on Linux, so it's not viable for me.

Is that a default-ish tray these days? It looks like a complete mess.

You can just turn that off. You know that, right?

EDIT: also, the icon doesn't show up in the position the OP's screenshot shows it, at least not in my experience. It showed up right next to the start button for me, but you CAN move it around the taskbar if you want.
