How to Delete All AI Logs Permanently from Copilot on PC
Users looking to manage or delete their AI interaction logs and disable Copilot on their PC have several methods available, depending on their version of Windows.

Microsoft is requiring laptop makers that ship devices with Windows 11 and specific hardware to include the new Copilot key on their keyboards.
A developer on Twitter has taken the discussion a step further by revealing that one of the flagship new features, Recall, doesn’t require the presence of a powerful NPU after all.
These Copilot agents will be triggered by certain events and work with a business’s own data.
Its NPU is capable of performing over 40 tera operations per second (TOPS) — a far cry from the 10 NPU TOPS offered with the Meteor Lake chips included in a range of AI PCs that are already available, and enough to qualify as a ‘Copilot+’ PC.
The biggest new requirement, and the blocker for virtually every Windows PC in use today, will be for an integrated neural processing unit, or NPU. Microsoft requires an NPU with performance rated at 40 trillion operations per second (TOPS).
While definitions of just what makes up an AI PC can vary, the key is a separate AI processor, sometimes called a neural processor or neural engine.
The official announcement: “Copilot+ PCs leverage powerful processors and multiple state-of-the-art AI models, including several of Microsoft’s world-class SLMs, to unlock a new set of experiences you can run locally, directly on the device.”
“Windows will again be instrumental in driving growth for the minimum memory capacity acceptable in new PCs. Desktop users with easily accessible upgrade options might shrug, but those buying laptops and discovering they aren’t upgradeable…”
IDC says the PC industry will “experience more pain” before things pick up, but it is pinning forecasts on a Windows 11 migration, a more general refresh cycle for devices bought early in the pandemic, and of course the aforementioned generative AI component.
“An AI PC,” he added, “is a PC that learns about you continuously, it’s a PC that is your personal foundation model within the data within the PC and it is a PC that will be able to interact with you more naturally.”
You can invoke it (by clicking on the icon or via Win + C), to ask it to play a playlist on Spotify, to send a message written by it for you, to erase the back -plan of an image in Paint or to advise you on the best sequence of shots in ClipChamp.
To be clear, Copilot is not an app. It’s marginally a utility. It’s more like the voice inside Windows 11 head, a consciousness that is fully aware of everything Windows 11 can do, and much of what you’re doing on Windows 11…
Windows Copilot is the headline feature for the Windows 11 23H2 update, bringing the same Bing Chat feature straight to the Windows 11 desktop. It appears as a sidebar in Windows 11, allowing you to control settings on a PC, launch apps, or simply answer queries. It’s integrated all over the operating system, too: Microsoft executives demoed using Copilot to write text messages using data from your calendar, navigation options in Outlook, and more.
How deep will Windows Copilot integrate into Windows 11? That’s the question everyone is asking as it moves closer to release. This article, from Techradar gives us a few tantalising clues: This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest, which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds […]
At the end of May, Microsoft had its DEVELOP conference, which it uses to showcase new products for the hundreds of thousands of programmers who write applications and utilities for Microsoft’s immensely popular software packages (like Office) and ubiquitous Windows operating system. Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s CEO, took to the stage for the opening keynote, touting […]
