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!

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Only the weight of numbers will force Micrsoft to act. I've reverted to classis and so the cheaper version but it won't kick until May when my subscription renews.
I think you are missing the point - there is no 'fix'. Not simple ones anyway.
People are totally entitled to vent when a company they pay good money to has just, without their knowledge, added an unwanted and extremely intrusive feature AND has, without their authorization, started charging them more for this unwanted and unannounced feature without any easy or immediate way to switch it off.
Microsoft have made a very serious mistake with how they have deployed CoPilot and it is important they are made acutely aware of this.
A thread such as this, with a lot of angry paying customers 'grizzling' as you condescendingly describe it, is a very important part of that.
So called 'community specialists', Microsoft proxies, are the ones who should not be posting when they cannot even post fixes that actually work. That just makes folks angrier.
Michelle - totally get your frustration. But the problem is that there is no fix for this, until Microsoft does the right thing and offers a way to disable. The suggestions that have worked only work on a PC - and us Mac users are out in the cold. Let's hope that someone at Microsoft is reading all these comments, and then gets their programmers in gear to fix this. If we're forced to use this tool and it's scraping our content, that's illegal.
The advice given DOESNT WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I would like it to be removed from my subscription to Word, as well. I already know how to write. I do not need this annoyance.
