Copilot
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
How long is it going to take Microsoft to add a Toggle Switch to turn off Copilot when you want to work independently of AI? I have no problem with AI, but I do need to be able to control it.
Especially when I am working with very sensitive and private files.
Surely it isn't too hard a task to add one.?
It is extremely bothersome! Microsoft Support has failed to assist me in deleting Copilot . . . on two separate occasions. During both landline conversations, it seemed as though they still have not figured how to get rid of it. Suggested that I use Outlook instead of Chrome. Problem remains unresolved!
I'm wondering if Microsoft is in trouble. Some things are just not working as they should.
The big problem for me is that they are very bad a communicating. I would like to see a more open approach and a better narrative about how they are configuring the system.
One of my annoyances, is that they disrupted my work-flow, e.g. by sending question about what do I think of the new Outlook. The dialogue boxes didn't work so I got nowhere.
I think they've got huge problems.
The only good news is that they have sorted the problems with keeping Windows going for older PCs.

Tried in disabling Copilot. Don't think it went away all together - but worth a try. Maybe you have tried this way? I used Outlook. Go to File (in Word). Go to options. Go to Copilot (4th down in column of options). Uncheck or remove the checkmark from the boxes and click "okay." As mentioned, may not be successful. Had to try several times before it worked. Isn't the change still followed by the system/powers that be? Good luck.
How do I get Copilot out of my Microsoft365 Word processor?
