I am using a Macbook Air, last week I tried the free trial of the copilot, but since I don't find it helpful, and even my word keeps on lagging, now I want to disable the copilot.

I have already tried to uninstall and reinstall Microsoft 365, and several tips on the internet, but none of them is working. The copilot is still there. and I find it so annoying.

Can someone help me to show me the way to disable the copilot, please?

Thank you!

    I don't know whose idea this was, but "Copilot" is a horrible cancer. It first appeared today and I cannot get rid of it. There is no method under "subscriptions." This is truly infuriating. I'm a professional writer and I don't need this. It's worse than getting a U2 album planted in my Apple music. Please advise me - and thousands more users, I'm sure - how to get rid of this unwanted visitor into my computer.

    I can't rid my Mac Word of this using the described method either. My subscription page acts like I don't even have it yet there it is in the middle of my page and on my tool bar. And my subscription price went up dramatically without warning about this AI feature being added. Argh. Add me to any legal effort to remove this thing.

    Well, copilot is now off my system. I refused to set up an automatic payment and ignored the many prompts requesting me to do so. However, after my trial expired, I had to reboot to get the copilot prompts off my system. It was worth it!

    1. The tab is just "Subscriptions" not "Services and Subscriptions"
    2. There is no "Disable" option, only the option to pay money for Copilot Pro

    ie. Thanks for nothing. Typical MS bulls***.
