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.

Thanks for the uninstall app suggestion. I have done it now. I also went to the button in Outlook and went to settings and shut it off as well.
I've already moved over to LibreOffice ... and it's better than Ms Office in a lot of respects, especially its price point.
TL;DR
Don't know if you've seen this or if it's any use...

I am guessing that this reply was written by Co-Pilot! A machine that cannot feel pain but has learnt to say "I feel your pain". If Linda L is a real person, I acknowledge that it must be painful to be being compared to a machine and would very much like not to be doing so, but unfortunately at present there does not seem to be a way not to be doing so.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE enable users to disable Co-Pilot in all programs. I know why you do not, you want to develop it by our use. However, it distracts and takes unnecessary time. I am not employed by Microsoft to develop its software. It costs me time - and therefore money
It's much simpler than that. They just want to charge us an extra 30% or $30 for something we don't want or need. It's like a virus or the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH, a mafia operation.

Thank you! This looks like very good info.
