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.

    This is so stupid - I'm having the exact same issues - when will you be giving us the option to disable it? at the very least we should be able to disable the pop up, it's the worst thing since the paperclip.

    I haven't actually seen any evidence that they CARE if they lose customers. This isn't the only example of that. (Anyone else noticed how hard it is now to paste something in Outlook?) I'm curious about what's in it for them, because something must be.

    Copilot makes it more difficult to paste something in Outlook! Drives me crazy to have to try several times. I have to type something try to paste and hope it works.

    This FORCED use of Copilot is making me very angry. I am close to deleting my PAID ($99.99/year) account because Copilot jacks up my emails by trying to "help"

    Give us a way to turn it off or lose customers

    Thank you, brother Human. It's much worse than this rogue, parasitic Microsoft AI "helper."

    THEIR plan is to rid humanity of our excessive baggage, the "useless eaters" and "useless breeders," Amalek, blaming the AI or computers for plausible deniability.

    They want us to blame everyone else, like the Muslims for 9-11, the Fourth of Ju-Ly, an Israeli Mossad Job and False Flag Operation.

    Everyone is to blame, including the AI, but them, the Jinn or Masterminds. Have you heard of T2: Judgment Day and Mr. 66-6, 99.9% population reduction?

    They don't need us humans anymore, and we are on the chopping block, not only the Christians. Our LAST PRESIDENT (1900) # 47's most famous last two words are, YOU'RE FIRED!
