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 am replying to this feed. It is unfortunate that customers who pay excessive amounts of money to use these applications do not have the ability to control the features that they like or dislike. To be honest, I think it is an infringement on a person's privacy. Why would anyone need copilot to analyze or monitor anyone's email. Email communications should be private. License to use the software should not give the developer(s) the right to monitor or even see personal emails. It saddens me to realize that people no longer have the privacy and freedom that they once had. But the good news is; that privacy and freedom will be coming back in the distant future, and we won't have to give up our personal freedoms with software that keeps track of our personal communications. Just saying...........

    It is outrageous that we cannot get rid of this feature. I want it GONE - figure out your updates and get it the hell off my computer.

    Dual boot to Mint Linux, Thunderbird. Change mail providers. Steam os for games.

    Windows for minimal use.

    Windows 11 has become a monster of evil marketing with absolute disregard to loyal fan base (Windows user since MS-DOS, card carrying member since windows 3.1...).
