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.

    "switching OSes" is non-trivial. If you pull the trigger please share resources.

    OneNote has been a key to my workflows for several years. Not excited at the prospect of replacing it but not inclined to continue to be subjugated by my CoPilot overlords.

    Question is, does Microsoft use these data without our approval? There must be an AI involved somewhere.

    Or, we could all feed it huge amounts of junk, making the AI behind the scenes go haywire.

    30 years ago, this would be dystopian novel material.

    Your suggestion doesn’t work in OneNote and is misleading. Read the question in its entirety before replying

    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!
