Remove copilot icon that appears when I click in Onenote

Already tried that. Twice. I uninstalled Copilot, restarted my computer, and checked for it again in the Start menu and it was still there. I uninstalled it a second time and it didn't go anywhere, so I started looking around and found out that I could open Privacy Settings and disable the option to "Turn on experiences that analyze your content". This is exactly the kind of thing that drives people to Linux and Mac and I'm not far behind them despite being a Windows user since the early 90s.

Hello. Likewise, I am having that issue as of today. Furthermore, my in-line indentation tool is missing, which was a tool I used frequently for formatting in-page without having to reach above.

Dear derMJ,

Good day!! Wish you a happy new year~

As per the description shared, I understand your concern and to my knowledge, I am sorry to convey that currently there is no possible setting or the feature in the OneNote application to hide or disable the Copilot icon beside the cursor, where we can only turn the complete Copilot feature from the OneNote app.

I agree with you on having the ability to hide or disable the Copilot icon beside the cursor in the Notebooks of the OneNote app will benefit the users and I suggest you add your valuable vote in the OneNote Feedback community: OneNote · Community which is the best place to share our ideas and improve the Microsoft products.

Our sincere apologies for the feature limitation in the OneNote app but being a moderator in this community we are limited with the resources and that's the reason we requested you add your valuable ideas as a feedback.

Appreciate your patience and understanding. Have a great day!!

Best Regards,

Sophia

This is unacceptable and Microsoft needs to fix this issue immediately.

Having Copilot popup is HIGHLY intrusive at the MOST INOPPORTUNE times.

I do NOT need clients having Copilot popping up when I am sharing my screen!

FIX IT!

I decided I wanted to experiment with copilot in Excel… so I enabled it (just for Excel, or so I thought)

I didn't even want to experiment! Excel gave me a warning for not having some online connections on and I clicked to fix it. The audacity of Microsoft to fool people into activating copilot! And now it seems I'm stuck with it. Already disabled it and then uninstalled it, but here we are. Unbelievable!

It was a terrible experience to try and find a solution. So much garbage marketing nonsense, so little help. Generating replies with AI does not help, either. The replies tend to be too long and repetitive when all we need is a short answer that fixes the problem.

I cannot believe you have coded something that runs on my computer even after I disabled and uninstalled it. Go fix it now.
