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 I found helpful

    To remove the Copilot icon from the ribbon in Microsoft Word, you can clear the Enable Copilot checkbox in the app. You can also remove the icon from the ribbon without turning off Copilot. 

    Turn off Copilot

    1. Open Word
    2. Click File
    3. Click Options
    4. Click the Copilot option
    5. Clear the Enable Copilot checkbox
    6. Click OK Remove the Copilot icon from the ribbon
    7. Customize the ribbon in Office
    8. Remove the Copilot icon from the ribbon

    Mz accounts page does not look at all like this. The subscriptions icon onlzy takes me to the resubscribe information setting. How is this supposed to work on Windows 10 (not Mac) and why has this been made so stupidly complicated. Microsoft needs to get its act together and stop 'improving' things that don't need improvement. I am seriously looking into dumping windows and moving to Linux.

    This instruction is wrong. I am trying to remove Copilot from Powerpoint, including the supremely annoying icon. First, my account does NOT show Services & Subscriptions; it shows only Subscriptions. Second, COPILOT appears nowhere on this page or any other page that I scroll through.

    BTW: These are the screens I get when cancelling 365 Family. It specifically states that the change will not be effective until the subscription renewal date:
