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 agree with the rest of you. Who asked for this obnoxious copilot feature and why is it forced on us, there should be a disable feature!
I am so sick of this copilot BS. It is intrusive and I don't want it or need it. I like to think for myself.
How interesting that here CoPilot does NOT pop up, invade, take over as I reply to Linda of Microsoft.
I join the chorus of really outraged users who are learning CoPilot has been created to impose itself with force on our emailing.
Like a bad date who keeps pouncing on you even after you've thrown him out of the car or house. Feels like a real violation after paying annual fee seeking a service that actually serves my needs.
I'm tired of CoPilot hijacking every simple Hotmail I try to write. Not just when I first hit reply but multiple times as I paragraph down. Just now it gobbled up what I was trying to copy-paste.
INVASIVE! NOT AN IMPROVEMENT! Raises frustration and blood pressure and takes away the joy of writing emails, which remain my daily bread of communications. I want to think and write my own thoughts, not have CoPilot superimposed on me.
Microsoft Humans:
PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON US and program a way to cancel this feature, for those who do better without it!
This is ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS. I never asked for the Auto co-pilot, nor do I want it. It is a horrible intrusion of my privacy and ability to send emails via Outlook. If you cannot correct the issue, I will no longer be using Microsoft Outlook for any email communications. Kindly advise as to a solution without directing me another site that is going to give me the same answer that you provided in this thread.

I didn't have quite that big a problem but just having all those things thrown in to "encourage" you to use the new technology is quite aggravating. It's interesting that they can't figure out a way to stop sending their messages to junk. I truly wonder what kind of experts they have working for them.
