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!

    Same problem as everyone else here... now I get this message

    We encountered a problem validating your Copilot license. For more information, see https://aka.ms/copilotlicensecheck

    I NEVER ASKED FOR COPILOT! WHY WOULD I WANT A LICENCE?

    Hi team,

    The solution doesn't work. I logged into my Subscriptions account, and it tells me Co-pilot is not purchased. But I still have the co-pilot icon appearing in my Word and PPT documents. This is such an annoying invasion of privacy. How can I be sure Co-pilot isn't AI stealing information from my documents? Please help me get Co-pilot off my PC. I didn't ask for this and I didn't choose it. It just appeared on my documents suddenly. Please help me resolve.

    Thanks

    alan

    @Shay1357: this worked. It briefly came back with a note to check the boxes in your connected experiences if you wanted to use this service. I found it very annoying and take pride in writing my own stuff.
