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!

    This is not current. There is no "Service" where you have indicated "Services and Subscriptions" and when I get over there and look at the CoPilot help, it says to uncheck the Copilot box and there is nowhere that is indicates any way to do so. ARRGH.

    DO NOT WANT COPILOT, thank you. I am fully capable of finding stuff without it.

    Adam - You can be sure that Microsoft's POS AI tool, copilot, is scraping your content. That is how AI works. It scrapes content to get smarter. Anyone who is a professional writer should be outraged by this. And that Microsoft is not letting us turn this damn thing off.

    TO TURN OFF COPILOT:

    Go into each program you'd like to turn it off in.

    File > Options > Copilot > Enable Copilot.

    There is a check box near "Enable Copilot" and you can turn it off. It is my understanding that you must do this for each application.

    Hope this helps! I had to do it too because I'm afraid it's going to "pop" as me using AI in school. Ridiculous.

    Thank you. But this doesn't work for Mac Users. There isn't an OPTIONS button in the Mac interface.

    Cant do it in excel or one note.

    I don't just want it turned off, I want it GONE. Because even off I don't trust its nit scraping.
