Can you just add some settings to /etc/hosts to prevent microsoft's copilot servers from being reached?

Probably breaks some other very important things in Windows.

Not a foolproof solution though, you don't want to be constantly updating your hosts file every time Microsoft changes an endpoint to rename their product offering for the 3rd time this year.

Of course this is where PiHole or some other DNS solution comes in, but ultimately a full uninstall would be preferable.
