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?

    Sure, I can help you draft a complaint. Here's a suggestion:


    Subject: Feedback on "Type to / Draft with Copilot" Prompt in Outlook

    Dear Microsoft Support Team,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the "Type to / Draft with Copilot" prompt that appears in Outlook emails. While I appreciate the innovative features that Microsoft continuously introduces, I find this particular prompt to be quite disruptive to my workflow.

    Each time I press "Enter" while composing an email, the prompt appears, which prevents me from pasting text and screenshots directly. This forces me to type a letter, select it, and then paste the copied content. As a user who is already familiar with Copilot, I find this prompt unnecessary and counterproductive.

    I kindly request that you consider providing an option to disable this prompt or adjust its behavior to be less intrusive. This change would greatly enhance the user experience for those of us who prefer a more streamlined email composition process.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and hope for a positive resolution.

    Best regards,

    [Your Name]

    Dunners, you can disable it on Word and other apps but not on Outlook. There is literally no way to remove it from email right now, unless MS make one.

    AGREE - It is extremely annoying and takes twice as long to write an email with that try copilot suggestion popping up every single line. Hopefully they will listen to all of this feedback and allow users to turn it on or turn it off globally for all of their emails. I don't mind having it as a menu option if someone wants to use it, but please, please, please allow users to turn it off, and not have to do so for every single email, but globally.

    Surely there must be an easy option to simply turn Copilot off in emails?

    EricVanNewkirk has expanded this v helpfully. Microsoft will be losing clients by foisting CoPilot on us.

    Ironically I received a promotional email today saying "Maximise your time with Copilot in Microsoft 365 this new year!" It is actually the opposite for many of us.

    EricVanNewkirk, I absolutely agree! But you're trying to reason with Jason.YA like 'he' is a real person, and I'm pretty sure it's actually an AI bot that sends these replies.
