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 beyond annoying. I cannot believe Microsoft can introduce a product that can't be removed. That is not okay!

    Copilot is incredibly annoying, and as a result, I can't do emails in the no nonsense way I prefer. The sooner it is gone, the better!

    They don't care if they lose customers like us. They care if they lose corporate customers. They won't lost corporate customers over Co-Pilot, although they should.

    I agree that I want copilot OFF of my emails. It's very annoying, distracting, and not helpful or useful. I accidentally click on it and it blocks the features I do want on my screen. And I was unable to provide feedback on this through the Help section like you mentioned.

    I need Copilot off my computer entirely, especially off my Outlook email. It is preventing me from sending attachments from One Drive and its intrusive. I need it gone today.

    Dual Boot: when PC starts the first thing I get is a page with options. Basically, I can start Linux or I can go into windows.

    To work less on MS and more on Mint (using Libre Office, Firefox, Thunderbird...). And stop rude Co-pilot from appearing.

    Need MS for whatever reason? Boot there and work as minimum as possible. However, tired of Windows 11 ruining what was a great experience. No WordPad, shoved copilot down my throat, doing changes that clearly come from a marketing department with myopic view of MS potential.
