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 agree with everybody that this copilot icon in OneNote is really annoying. It pops up every time you begin writing a new line, even after uninstalling Copilot and turning off all the so-called "experiences" in Excel's privacy settings (the privacy settings are absent from OneNote's options).

    Completely unacceptable. They are only doing it to force users to feed the AI. I am seriously considering unsubscribing from everything Microsoft. It is fine if they want to add it as a feature, but not being able to turn everything on or off in the settings except for the AI? Come on. This is too much of a push. It is the most detrimental part of the services Microsoft has ever provided.

    I agree the copilot live help is disturbing. Made it my lift mission to solve.

    The workaround right now is to use

    Alt + Shift + _ for collapse indent

    Alt + Shift + + for expand (the plus on calculator keys don't work but the one left to backspace)- Mouse click also expands.

    You're welcome.

    Yes, I can’t agree more! If even the working tools get more and more full of interruptions, we’ll end up having to go back to typewriters and paper agendas 😊
