I'm a dinosaur who still uses Hotmail.com via web-based Outlook.com. Now every time I reply to a message, I get a ""Try Draft with Copilot" message/link in it. I never want to use Copilot for anything, but this won't go away. How can I turn permanently off this any other Copliot promot in Outlook?

    I’m a business subscriber that did try copilot ($360 upfront) and it’s absolutely useless. It is not helpful, or creative. When I did try using it, I got “I’m not permitted to…” most of the time and now, they shove it in my face- EVEN though it expired as I planned. So, which is it MSFT, is it expired, or is it not? You can’t badger me to resubscribe because it’s expired and bug the hell out of me in every email.

    Microsoft, face it, you launched a turd and do not want to tell anybody it’s a turd, so you force it on us to report high daily uses. More of the same- 25 useless apps nobody chooses over another because a company got a big discount. They’ll figure it out.

    I know Microsoft doesn't care about what the customers think, but this is extremely annoying that I can't turn this off. I do have a 365 account and I still can't turn it off in my webmail client. Because Eff Me, right? What the customer wants is immaterial relative to your company pushing its garbage down our throats.

    I created a uBlock Origin script to prevent that garbage from loading in my browser.

    Congrats! Your response is the most helpful I've found in here. I've done the same - used a script to block the annoyance. Thanks for the suggestion!
