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

    If you are still seeing this issue, please let me know what build is your Outlook (File, Office Account, under About Outlook)? I'm testing to see if I can repro so I can get this escalated to the Outlook Team.

    Hello

    Thank you for your prompt response, I would like to know what is the email domain that is added on to your Outlook 2019 and how is it setup? (POP, IMAP, Exchange)

    Best Regards,

    Neither of these options is relevant to my Windows 11 Outlook. I have no add-ins. And there is no Copilot tab. I've adjusted the settings in Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Nothing gets rid of this pernicious intrusion. Honestly, I'm going to have to go to Linux if Microsoft doesn't stop telling me what I WILL use whether I want to or not.

    None of the options works with Office Professional Plus 2021.

    Any suggestion?

    Thanks,

    Renato
