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 want it gone. I don't want new AI features, especially not ones I can't opt out of. It is distracting, it is slowing down my work process, and it is invasive.

    This new Copilot is as annoying as Clippy was in the 90's! I, and many others by the looks of it, want it removed and we shouldn't have to uninstall and reinstall to do it! What a load of bu****it. Yet again the consumer is left with an annoying feature that is useless.

    I've been using Office Suite applications for a long time and I don't need Copilot's assistance.

    Microsoft should be providing yet another update. One that gives the consumer the option of saying "No thanks."

    Interesting. I just went and did the same thing and it just unsubscribed me. The offer is currently 1 month free to resubscribe. No mention of the option to go back to classic.

    Wonder if they took that off? I'm in Australia and it's 30 Nov.

    I'm going to wait to see what happens when my re-subscribe date comes up in April 2025.

    Their offer didn't mention the option to go back to classic, but I could see it on the page - or maybe I had to click on manage subscriptions or something. Sorry I can't remember the detail now, but it definitely wasn't there (that I saw) until I tried to cancel. Hopefully it turns up for you.

    Thanks :) I wouldn't be surprised if they removed that option to go back to the Classic, to force people to keep the stupid copilot. We'll see.
