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!

    If Microsoft believes that I will come to like Copilot because they are forcing me to use it, they are very much mistaken. I hate Google Docs and other word-processing software, but I'd rather change and then grin and bear it than carry on swearing all day long because of the irritation caused by Copilot. For the first time in my life, I removed my automatic subscription.

    As of now there is NO WAY to disable Copilot in PowerPoint and Excel. Please read the thirty-odd preceding posts on this question. Thanks.

    I have turned off recurring payments for Office 365. I am hoping that one of the "benefits" thAT I will lose is that effing Copilot.

    There is no 'options' under File in Word for Mac - there never has been. I assume that is in the Windows version.

    I'm on windows / office 365. In Word, go to File -> Options (all the way on the bottom on the left) -> Copilot (4th one down) -> Unclick "Enable Copilot"
