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?

    Totally agree with other responses. Each line I write I have this message to try draft with copilot. As if the banner 'summary with copilot' was not enough.

    Here is a solution that worked for me to remove that copilot summary banner and to remove the 'try with copilot' when writing a draft.

    Using Firefox and uBlock Origin -

    • In uBlock settings select the 'My filters' tab.
    • Add the following two lines -
    • outlook.live.com##.vaN5Q.wekzh.r7GQl
    • outlook.live.com##.fui-PopoverSurface

    Feature? This is an UTTER ANNOYANCE!

    I don't want Copilot. Stop trying to come up with uses for AI. So far I haven't seen anything helpful in this space. (I do use it when I write code, but that's my choice. I hate that you're shoving it in my face! What next, pay you in bit coin?

    I do pay for Microsoft 365, but my hotmail is legacy.

    I don't know who made this "feature" decision that cannot be turned off, but it doesn't seem like it was suggested by a human.

    Listen to your Customers!

    I have the same issues with my browser-based Outlook; I also have an MS 365 individual subscription.

    Please let us turn all Copilot features off.

    I agree with all of the others who have complained about the ridiculous "Try Draft with Copilot" message. It is extremely annoying. I know what I want to write - I don't need Microsoft to write anything for me. Like others, I have a Microsoft 365 account.

    I have had this email account for over 20 years, but this AI intrusiveness will force me to look at other options for email.

    Please fix this now!!
