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.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Firefox is a great web browser and it will let you use any search engine you want. I'm using Windows and Outlook, but use Firefox instead of Edge. No major problems. Once in awhile Edge wants to inject itself into things without my permission but not often and not a huge problem.
The freedom to do anything at all that YOU CHOOSE to do on the machine you paid for. But, even though Microsoft is *#$+:#! nosy, privacy Invading PITA, you have to address the real issue. The government taking your right to control YOUR property and placing it, in terms of importance, beneath Microsoft's want to make an insane profit off of YOUR data, is why no one has sued the **** out of Microsoft yet. Did you know they will record your KEY STROKES?
Firefox is my default browser.
I also heavily use Brave.
Sometimes Opera....
When I find Edge cutting in, I usually cut the address out and paste it in Firefox or Brave.
I just don't like Microsoft taking away my choice on my computer using the software that I purchased.
I understand that Caligula's favorite saying was "Let them hate, so long as they fear", or as he would put it, and as you noted, Oderint dum metuant.
At this point, I attribute the issue to Microsoft having just paid programmers, not the best programmers, as this is bad programming as it results in dissatisfied customers.
A few years back, I was teaching an Advance C course and I gave out a homework assignment where the students would sort 25,000 integers. The were to create their own code for a quicksort and then run the same numbers through using Microsoft's qsort function. They would get the time it took for their function to run and Microsoft's qsort to run. Usually around half the class would discover that their quicksort code worked faster than that of Microsoft. It was a great moral booster for these students....

Please add the Share Button which shows up in Excel similar to the Copilot in Outlook.
I don't want to see this Share Button in the Excel document I am working on.
I do not use OneDrive.
This constant OneDrive reminder servers only to remind me that I will never ever use OneDrive.
Can you please tell me who is responsible for making these buttons show up without my permission and not allow me to remove them?
I'd like to talk to this persons supervisor and see what can be done to get this addressed.
