Anonymous

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 never subscribed to copilot.

    It appears to have simply been added to my Word 365.

    I DO NOT WANT IT.

    But I see no separate entry for copilot in the subscriptions and thus no way to get rid of it.

    If I cannot get rid of it, then I will have to get rid of Word 365!

    This is my experience as well.

    There is NO way to turn the thing off.

    I do not want it for numerous reasons.

    If we are not provided with a way to turn it off, I will have to give up on Microsoft Word 365 entirely.

    Agreed. If Microsoft does not allow users to disable Copilot, then I will cancel my subscription and invest in a different office suite.

    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.

    Ya'all notice that its just users asking for this to be removed? Not one response from Microsoft. Not even a sorry you don't like it, but trust me AI will revolutionize things (which is BS but it would show they read the forums). They set this up so folks would feel like they were being heard but then dip.

    They don't care. They invested a ton into this STUPID CoPilot that literally no one wants, so its not going anywhere.

    Proof me wrong Microsoft and respond to this with SUBSTANTIVE ways to remove CoPilot PERMANENTLY.
