How do I TURN OFF the "Summary by Copilot banner that appears on every single email I receive in outlook?

I may, maybe once a year when tagged into a super long email thread try to get a summary... but 99.99% of the time I will never want to use this, as such the banner is annoying and consumes lots of valuable space where I could render my email.

How can I turn this off? or hide it by default?

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For home

    Solved this issue:
    Removed Outlook - just use Windows Mail

    If that gets this kind of infection, I will use something else.

    For MS:

    I think the main issue is that your devs are adopting the mindset of Google\Android - a ton of apps you don't need or use, and settings that are not easy to disable, or simply can't be controlled by the user at all.

    Remember the old days when we had complete control of what we had on our system, and had simple checkboxes to turn stuff on or off?

    • yeah, we want them back thanks :)

    Add me to the list of people who think this is a waste of space and time. Allow individual preferences to be set and one of them to be able to DISABLE this "feature".

    Same issue here as well. Why do we have a busted solution jammed down our throats. These supposed AI systems are just glorified search engines. Engines that are searching through the internet where the majority of information is either a lie or just wrong. How is that productive in a corporate environment. Give the users the right to block Copilot. After all we pay you to supply a service, not to keep milking our wallets.

    This is soooooo annoying!!!!!

    I have the same issue.

    Called Microsoft help to get it resolved and the IT guy couldn't remove it, after an hour of trying. He told me he would report it to the technical support to fix it but it is still an issue. The suggestion provided by De Paul was not helpful either - this is an issue for individuals, not just organizations, so needs a resolution with a set of instructions for the individual.

    PLEASE TURN THIS FEATURE OFF, MICROSOFT!!!!
