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

    Hi all,

    The Outlook Team has implemented a fix, and I am waiting on that build to get created to test and verify it. Once I know for sure the fixed build and release status I will post back with an update.

    I'm moving over to Linux and will use Thunderbird for email. I'll convert all of my documents over to Libreoffice. Once converted I'll subscribe to a good cloud storage provider and kill my Microsoft account. When I first saw CoPilot, it's behavior was more like a virus than an application.
