Remove copilot icon that appears when I click in Onenote

I've used OneNote pretty much since launch. Not once have a thought about moving away to another product until today. I even purchased a OneDrive subscription to keep notes and files synced.

This logo following my cursor everywhere is infuriating. It's incredibly distracting. The options it offers are not even useful or flat out don't work:

"Summarize page" = Can't generate because of the word count

"Create a task list" = Takes a long time, then provides nonsensical recommendations or "Sorry, something went wrong"

"Rewrite Page" = Can't generate because of the word count

Disabling this should be basic functionality. I'm in awe at how a streamlined application, which was perfect for clarity, now has this logo following me around everywhere. It's just weird.

Dearest Capitalist Micro$oft,

Take Co-pilot and shove it up your... I'm out for Linux. If there is an option to use a microsoft product, count on that I'll find a better non-microsoft alternative. You clearly do not give a s#17 about what your customers want and have decided to force your customers to use what you tell them to. You didn't learn your lessons from Internet Explorer and your greedy hands are showing. I have 60 co-pilot credits... Take your credits and shove them up your... You do not care about the consumer only about the dollar. Anything good you've ever done or made has numerous asterisks. Linux may not be perfect, but the distributor never installs software I didn't ask them to, so it's already miles ahead of your **** business practices. I might run windows as a VM on a as needed basis, but you'll never be my OS or office of choice ever again.

Anyone interested in a note taking app, I'm looking at Joplin, Logseq and Obsidian.

Peace out.

I completely agree

IMO: A typical symptom of incompetence in Win32 programming. The result of trying to kill OneNote 2016 a few years ago. The owners of the know-how are gone.

Dear Microsoft Team,

One of the simplest yet most helpful features OneNote had was the ability to easily move sentences/bullets (drag and drop). This allowed users to quickly type two or more sentences and then manually sort them. This basic functionality was incredibly helpful for brainstorming, creating quick to-do lists, and other similar tasks.

Now, with Copilot being so intrusive and altering the cursor, that simple and helpful capability is gone. The current workaround requires selecting one word in a sentence and then using the Copilot cursor/icon to move the sentence (drag and drop). This significantly reduces the ease and simplicity of manually sorting sentences/bullets. This makes the process unproductive, especially when Copilot isn't needed.

The solution seems straightforward: provide an option to disable the Copilot cursor, allowing users to decide whether to enable it.

Thank you in advance!

Patricio
