How do I permanently turn off Copilot prompts in my Outlook.com webmail messages?

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!

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.

Did anyone find a way to disable this? I can't find an obvious answer in the replies. This is an extreme annoyance, even in the desktop installed outlook client (which I'm guessing is little more than a web wrapper?).

The prompt appears repeatedly on every single line of a reply and it's an utter distration and pain. The number of times I've switched windows to check something for my reply on to click back and inadvertantly hit the link, launching copilots "innovation" to much annoyance.

Surely this has to be a bug though. Showing the prompt once when the feature initially launched then leaving it to sit in the top icon bar alongside formatting, etc would be fair enough. Having it appear on every single new line is frustrating overkill that has me rooting round for my old office installation discs.

I share the OPs frustration with this 'feature', and their views that Microsoft do not care what their customers think.

Copilot is an extremely irritatin 'feature', and not one I want or need yet it pops up on every line and gets in the way.

Can Microsoft please offer their hotmail outlook users the option to switch this irritating feature off.

The prompt "Try Draft with Copilot" is not a suggestion, it is a command as far as the English language is concerned. The subject "You" is understood in this suggestion, and it makes it a complete sentence (without the period, of course; but that seems to be acceptable in contemporary society).

I do not want to try Copilot. I do not want to access Artificial Intelligence. I would like to think on my own and not rely upon an army of robots to direct my conscience.

It is distracting to compose or reply to an email with "Try Draft with Copilot" reappearing after each return (enter) of a paragraph.

I subscribe to Office 365. And I would like the option of declining your invitation to utilize CoPilot in any capacity. I use Word and emails as a fancy typewriter and would like to turn off as many bells and whistles such as thought-prompting and auto-correct. With no offense to others who may prefer the trajectory of computer technology, I would prefer to edit, correct, think and create without the use of artificial intelligence.

Please Microsoft, have your computer technicians -- or an artificial-intelligence equivalent -- remedy this feature for Outlook and Office 365 users.

Respectably submitted.
