<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I don't know (yet) if this works
correctly, but maybe a batch file scheduled at intervals that
deletes or renames ai.exe in the appropriate paths for your Office
installation?</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Apparently it re-surfaces after
Office--and God knows what other Windows--updates. I also don't
know if you need to axe ai.dll and aimgr.exe too, despite the
posted info that the internal AI calls just silently fail when
ai.exe is not found.</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Thanks for this. I hadn't noticed lag
here and so hadn't paid attention. but now--and especially after
seeing recall--I want out too!<br>

really related to accessibility, but does anyone know how to
permanently disable the artificial intelligence process on
Windows 10 64 bit? Whenever it runs, it prevents Microsoft
Outlook from closing properly, so both processes are still
running in the background, and Outlook will not open
again—even though it is not on the taskbar; the only way to
fix it is to use the task manager to kill both processes. I
have used Cygwin to chmod 000 (block all access) to ai.exe,
but, no matter how many times that I do that, Microsoft
somehow manages to restore the permissions and run that
process.</span></p>
