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?

    Some of us are not happy with intrusive notifications from Co pilot. Why do we need help to read emails? This is change for change sake and is not useful and is actually very annoying. Unintrusive AI can be useful if it is there when requested. Being inserted into everything is just irritating.

    HabibAzar - you have eloquently stated everything that is wrong about Microsoft foisting CoPilot onto everyone. Annoying and unwanted, and then leaving us with no easy way to simply decline it. Bad business. I've been satisfied with hotmail since its launch - if it isn't broken, don't fix it.

    Urgh.....did they do any user testing whatsoever with this? Probably an AI self-tested it.

    Need to remove this as soon as possible.

    So frustrating. It's been annoying me for a few weeks now since it first appeared on my mail and after another hour or so of googling for a solution today it's finally pushed me over the edge. Cancelled my subscription to 365. I want what I originally signed up for not something that's intrusively forcing its way into my work.

    Open to recommendations for new office apps and e-mail clients!
