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 hit the 'draft with ai' prompt and asked it to write an email about how to turn the prompt off. Somewhat unsurprisingly it wrote a fake email about functionality that doesn't exist, because it's a chatbot designed to mimic human sounding tone, that takes priority over fact, it'll happily lie. Absolute trash technology.


    Hi there,

    I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to provide some guidance on how to disable the "Draft with Copilot" prompt in Hotmail. This feature, while helpful for some, can be a bit intrusive if you prefer composing your emails without any additional prompts.

    To disable this feature, follow these steps:

    1. **Log in to your Hotmail account**: Open your preferred web browser and go to the Hotmail sign-in page. Enter your credentials to access your account.
    2. **Navigate to Settings**: Once you're logged in, locate the gear icon (usually found in the upper-right corner of the screen) and click on it to open the settings menu.
    3. **Access Mail Settings**: In the settings menu, you should see an option labelled "View all Outlook settings" at the bottom. Click on it to open the full settings panel.
    4. **Find the Copilot Settings**: Within the settings panel, navigate to the "Compose and reply" section. Here, you will find various options related to email composition.
    5. **Disable the "Draft with Copilot" Prompt**: Look for the "Draft with Copilot" feature in the list. There should be an option to toggle it off. Simply switch it to the "Off" position.
    6. **Save Your Changes**: After disabling the feature, make sure to save your changes by clicking on the "Save" button located at the bottom of the settings panel.

    That's it! You should no longer see the "Draft with Copilot" prompt when composing emails in Hotmail. If you encounter any issues or have further questions, feel free to reach out for assistance.
