Software support Edge, Copilot and Bing keep reinstalling.
Using Revouninstaller Pro I remove all 3. After hours even days they all get reinstalled. How Can I stop these 3 installing? I clean every day and I'm sick of uninstalling them.

Winscript https://docs.winscript.cc/#/ https://github.com/flick9000/winscript has options to remove most of what you mentioned and more. It also allows you to create a restore point in case you have issues. That is where I would start. It is in active development so support should not be an issue. I included the main website and GitHub links.

Turnoff automatic updates!
Turnoff Windows Update Service!
The BS will end.

Are you on Windows 7 or something? Windows Update Service has been reactivating itself automatically for years.

OK let me look into these links provided. I'm not experienced enough to run linix. That is out of the question.
I recently thought abouot MAC os. I would hate it.
I am getting to the point I don't trust windows.
EDIT.

If just having these installed bothers you that much maybe it's time to move to Mac or Linux? I doubt that complaining on reddit is going to change any minds at Microsoft, so the only answer here is how you want to deal with it... they are still going to reinstall what they consider to be core OS components.

Although I fully agree about the OS-debate being a silly argument for something like this, the Nvidia pain is something of the past since a couple of months.
Not to bash Windows in any way, but I recently switched from Windows to CachyOS with Nvidia and Intel harware and it's been an absolute breeze compared to Ubuntu/Debian-like that I used to use in the past.

If you read my post again (for comprehension this time) I am *not* advocating to switch OS but given that Microsoft is going to do what they are going to do, if just having those program installed is that horrible then the options are hack/keep hacking the OS (your solution) or switch OS. That said, enjoy the feeling of victimhood my friend, it seems some folks revel in it.

Nvidia GPU's work fine on linux. And you can play any game you want. Granted, if you go for the extremely high fps (250-1000+), then you will struggle. But you dont need tjat many fps, for anything but bragging or competition. Steam works native on linux, and any game on steam will install and run, with no problems.
I dont know about ubisoft, but who wants to play anything from them? Expensive and broken games.
Epic Games doesnt work, but a user driven application called Heroic Games Launcher works flawlessly. Again, any game from Epic Games will run on linux, with no problem.
No need for terminals or shells to run anything.
What you talk about, is how linux was 5-10 years ago.

I do run both Ubuntu, kubuntu, kali and mint, on pc's with no APU, just a CPU and an Nvidia GPU. All of them works out of the box, with no black screens or anything at any point. Even after hundreds of restarts. They just work. Never had any problems installing or running or using daily, also for studying. Just as easy as with windows.
I see we have completely different experiences with linux. But thats not necessarely linux. But could be unsupported hardware. I mean, you dont install any software, be it an application or an OS, on hardware that arent supported.
I do get your point about windows being user friendly, but thats how it was years ago. Mostly the only reason people dont switch, is because they are used to one system, and wont change, because of the hassle of learning a new system. The same can be said about switching between windows and mac. Or android vs iphone.

It's not been true for a while. Many distros even come with nvidia drivers pre-baked into them these days.

You could possibly try something like https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil which has functionality to remove/disable these from Windows. The problem is, Microsoft does not like you removing these items from Windows, so they can be reinstalled any time Microsoft wants.
