Block AI on the whole Windows PC
No extension needed: one download blocks AI addresses for every browser and every app on the computer. It can also switch off the AI built into Windows.
Install
- Unzip the download.
- Double-click “Start-Mindveto.bat” and click Yes.
- Type 1 to block AI. Type 3 to also switch off Copilot, Recall and the AI in Edge and Chrome.
- Give children or staff a normal (non-admin) account. Then they cannot undo it.
Windows may first say it “protected your PC”. Click “More info”, then “Run anyway”. The script is plain text: you can open it in Notepad and read every line.
