Remove copilot icon that appears when I click in Onenote

I've uninstalled the Copilot app from Windows, disabled it in Administrative Group policies, and disabled it in the Office365 programs' Account/Account Privacy/Connected Experiences settings .... and this trash is still showing up! Get this distracting invasive trash LLM off my machine! I don't need it, don't want it, don't trust it, and didn't agree to receive it. I've disabled it every way listed officially, and a few suggested by the internet hivemind, and it's still dug in. What exactly is it going to take to get this **** actually gone? Switch to Linux maybe? If Microsoft refuses to respect the consumer's expectation, nay demand, for privacy from unwanted and distracting LLMs, they will leave. Tell me how to actually remove this **** from the basic functional office Software that I paid for and want, or I'll simply start by cancelling my Microsoft subscription and installing OpenOffice (for free!) to do the same thing without the distracting digital spyware built in.

EVERYBODY SHOULD CHECK THEIR MICROSOFT 365 ACCOUNT AND SUBSCRIPTION. YOPU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED FOR COPILOT AT RENEWAL

It will automatically have been updated to include Copilot and at renewal it will automatically be included in the fees. My family account would have gone up 30% for a service I actively don't want. To cancel it one has to go into the cancel subscription option when you get offered the "reduced" serice you were on previously as a sop to keep you on board. But you will be stuck with it until renewal, I don't know whether Copilot will disappear or you will just not have any credits to use it, possibly with a message telling youy to subscribe if you accidentally click on it.

When I have finished my PhD in a few months time, it is currently all in Office and OneDrive, I will be looking at switching to LibreOffice, perhaps even on Linux.

Thank you for this information. I will be canceling my Microsoft 365 subscription now.

How is this acceptable? There is no way for me to disable Copilot even after I've disabled the option in Privacy Settings to "Turn on experiences that analyze your content".

Anyone else teetering on the edge of switching OSes?

I know this is late and you may have already noticed. But it's still analyzing your content because it's included in the ALL section.

This means even if you uncheck the first box, it's STILL active. And when you turn it off, your data stops syncing.

Follow-Up Edit to Show the Terms of Use for Copilot:

I have the same issue too. A simple option to disable it should be provided.

I've supplied feedback via the OneNote app and linked back to this post. I encourage everyone to do the same.
