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'd feel differently if MS had made it possible to change the Categories colours in Outlook but they haven't."

    Not sure if I get that right but changing the Categories colors in Outlook (classic) is (and always was) possible:

    After uninstalling Copilot as an app days ago, and it finally stopped reinstalling itself (even after a number of reboots), I still can't get the extremely unusual and annoying icon to stop appearing in OneNote. I have Windows 11 Home (Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.36.0) with Microsoft 365 Personal. Please help with other options. I do NOT want ANY aspect of Copilot on my laptop, in any app... I never want to see Copilot again. Thank you.

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

    Feel better. I’m in the process of reformatting my PC so I can opt out of Copilot from the start and never opt in again (at least not outside of a virtual machine, container, or dual-boot environment). I have zero trust now that I have installed Copilot and can still see its icon sitting next to each line of text in OneNote.
