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!

2025-01-31T22:12:23+00:00 Oversight? LOL!
In a normal situation with a normal vendor this would be highly unlikely, but possible.
In the situation at hand in which it was foisted upon us against our will in such a detailed, overarching manner - and in which the vendor is MS who has done many very similar things before, it's extremely unlikely. I'll consider it though - if Haley's Comet comes by again tonight.
In particular, MS had to back down from doing something similar with the "Recall" feature last year, which was delayed from October until December for preview and only for Copilot+ PC's.
Of course, almost all Windows PC's are now copilot+ right? So was Recall turned on with copilot? Literally I am just now thinking about this. Does anybody know what the REAL current status is of Recall? Is it now taking snapshots of everything we do?
BTW, because I terminated CONNECTED EXPERIENCES, I no longer have use of "Dictation" in Word. See response to clicking on dictation:
