Removing Copilot from Outlook email

UPDATE 28Apr2025: I renewed and changed my subscription to Microsoft Personal Classic and that *seemed* to eliminate Co-Pilot. For how long? Who knows? But at least now its no longer showing up on my emails. Thank you to everyone who shared my frustrations and who offered suggestions.

How do I remove Copilot from my Outlook email (and all other applications for that matter)? I have a 5 year old MacBook Pro. I use Outlook (Hotmail account) and all of a sudden CoPilot has appeared when I start writing or replying to emails. I do NOT want it. I do NOT need it. It is VERY distracting and I want to disable and/or remove it. Any advice would be most appreciated. I tried searching online but could not find a suitable answer. Thank you.

I do not know if I have the New or Legacy Outlook.

    I uninstalled outlook. Thunderbird works just as well, if not better.

    On a similar convo, MSFT support closed the convo . recommended a "Ribbon" change to Auto Correct. ?!?!?

    Not applicable to the web based outlook at hotmail. I do not have outlook installed. So, no ribbon. And is there an option to stop using copilot for auto correct? I cant find it on the web based outlook.com / hotmail. Anyone? Bad support tech on other convo... Bad!

    Having submitted (negative) feedback and then reported a problem, namely asking how to remove Copilot, it suddenly disappeared so I'm guessing that worked?

    I agree with your analysis copilot could be a form of abuse!

    That would be a nice option since you can't turn off copilot to have it actually learn what spam is
