Today, I turned on Onenote, and it notified me that it had Copilot update.

Now, every time I click in Onenote, it shows this annoying Copilot icon next to cursor:

How do I remove it?

Thank you.

    I followed those steps, uninstalled copilot from my computer. The copilot icon is still there next to the cursor/when starting a new line.

    Anyone remember Clippy...? The annoying "help" paperclip from the 90's? I think he's back in this new form.

    Clippy was never that annoying. He stayed off to the side, and you could right click and turn them off... and they stayed off!

    The Copilot junk is being forced on us without any way to even make it less annoying or to have it disabled! I had one machine where it wasn't showing up so I left it... but rolled back my other 2 to a version of office before it... and thinking I need to roll back even farther to completely get rid of it.

    https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/0fae6e48-04d8-ef11-95f5-6045bdb154fd seems to behave differently when clicking from here.

    Copy/paste in a new window. Maybe this is more "help" from copilot? Thanks for pointing that out @Alan Staples

    I don't want Microsoft to invite my kids to use AI on their homework every time they move their cursor. We need to have the option of disabling the Copilot. Unless Microsoft isn't serious about the education market.
