How do I delete copilot from my pc? I don't want it. I never asked for it. I hate it.

Hello Utkarsh. I have followed your instructions but the stupid Copilot icon still shows up when I type anything in either word, excel or powerpoint.

I re-started the laptop after entering the new command.

I completely agree, no consumer-level instructions for removal of Copilot were ever given! Are you (Microsoft) kidding me -- you want us to go to the registry and mess with that??? (Most conumers have never heard of "the registry.")

The Copilot icon was not in my tray, but foolishly I clicked on a pop up that encouraged me to "just try Copilot." I clicked on it once to see a format doc, and it took over. I cannot even use Word anymore with out dealing with Copilot. And this is AFTER I followed all the instructions to remove it via Settings/ installed apps,/ uninstall/ restart my computer. Now it doesn't show up in the apps list, but it is somehow still embedded in Word.

I am sorry but your reply is the dumbest I have seen in this forum

"easiest way to disable Copilot is to hide i" you start out with that, but you admit in the next paragraph that it can still be accessed, so you didnt really "Disable" it, did you?

the only way to disable something is to remove it from your system, and since you cant remove it, there is no way to Disable it, is there? all you can do by your own words is to "HIDE IT"

your not being helpful if all you know is how to hide something. tell me, if you have a virus in your system, if you hide it, did you disable it? of course not!

The instructions to UNsubscribe are worthless. There is NO unsubscribe option. Ever.

If you move to OpenOffice you lose Visual Basic, AS I UNDERSTAND IT. I'm not positive. I have a lot of routines written in VB in Excel and that's the only reason I haven't switched. If you're considering switching to OpenOffice there is also Libre to consider.
