I have just noticed that I now have a Copilot dropdown above the Ribbon on the right hand side in my Outlook Classic 2019 - I DO NOT WANT THIS RUBBISH IN MY OFFICE APPLICATIONS!!!!

How many more times are Microsoft going to thrust these stupid ideas down our throats 🤬

What I need to know is how to remove it.....Please someone help as there are no details on the internet, unless you are a 365 user, which I'm not

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me

    Good morning

    Welcome to Microsoft Community

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention, I understand that you need assistance with removing copilot in your Outlook app. If you're seeing a Copilot dropdown in Outlook Classic 2019 and want it gone, you're not alone and you're not imagining things. While Copilot is primarily a Microsoft 365 feature, some users have reported it appearing in older versions like Outlook 2019, especially if connected to a Microsoft account or organization that enables Copilot features via updates or policies

    Here are a few things you can try:

    Option 1: Disable via Outlook Settings

    1. Open Outlook.
    2. Go to File > Options.
    3. Look for a Copilot tab or section (if available).
    4. Uncheck Enable Copilot, then click OK and restart Outlook.

    > This option may not appear in Outlook 2019 unless it’s been updated to a version that supports Copilot integration.

    Option 2: Remove via Add-ins

    1. In Outlook, go to File > Options > Add-ins.
    2. At the bottom, next to Manage, select COM Add-ins and click Go.
    3. Look for anything related to Copilot and uncheck it.
    4. Click OK and restart Outlook.

    I hope this helps,

    Best regards

    JK
