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 think Microsoft is listening or cares. If it did, I'm sure a simple "do not show/display" option could be installed to save this tirade of abuse it is getting from users who do not want the annoyance of Copilot. Having a simple on/off option then keeps everyone happy. However, Microsoft does not appear to want to go down this route.

    Really? The user has to uninstall the office suite because microsoft installed Copilot without asking?

    This is corporate ****! There needs to be an "Uninstall Copilot" button or option.

    Just disgraceful!

    I want an easy, no **** method to automatically uninstall these undesired and unasked for MS installed applications.

    I also do not have and "Account" listed under "file". I'm using Word on my MacBook Pro.

    To reiterate what others have said, copilot actually interferes with my professional work.

    Awaiting an answer to this also. My plan has renewed unfortunately. Absolute bollix from Microsoft. I've just uninstalled Outlook on my Android because of co-pilot and how frustrating it is.
