Windows 10: I DO NOT Want ChatGPT on my Taskbar or System - How do I STOP it?

I DO NOT Want ChatGPT on my Taskbar or System - How do I STOP it, reject it, disable it, remove it, SCRAPE it off my HDD? Can we choose to not install it? I do not want another Microsoft blunder like IE shoved down my throat. I paid for an operating system, not a built-in Microsoft advertising system that wants to construct a molecular virus to kill me with.

ChatGPT issue

Hello S Z527

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble accessing ChatGPT on your Surface Pro 9. Could you please provide more details that I can help you. What browser are you currently using? For example, Microsoft Edge. Does it only behave like this when visiting certain websites? Does everything work fine when visiting other sites?

The error message you're seeing suggests that the website may be experiencing a caching issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1-> Clear your browser cache: Sometimes the issue can be resolved by clearing your browser's cache. To do this, go to your browser's settings and look for an option to clear your cache and cookies. After doing this, try accessing ChatGPT again. Here is an article refers to the browser ‘Microsoft Edge’ -> View and delete browser history in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support

Note: When deleting history you can try to delete only ChatGPT's cookies and history

2-> Try a different browser or the private mode of your browser: It's possible that the issue is specific to the browser you're using. Try accessing ChatGPT using a different browser or the private mode to see if the issue persists.

3-> Check your internet connection: If your internet connection is weak or unstable, it could be causing issues with accessing ChatGPT. Make sure you have a strong and stable connection, and try resetting your router if necessary.

Note: If any virtual proxies are currently mounted on your computer, please turn them off temporarily as this should also be a part of the optimisation.

Feel free to let me know and we can explore other possible solutions.

Best regards,

Chandy |Microsoft Community Support Specialist
