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.

    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 stopped using Onedrive for photos because of the non-removable For You section. I will stop using Onenote because of the non-removable Copilot-button next to cursor. That simple.

    It appears someone has locked that feedback portal post? I get this error code

    An error occurred and we're working on a solution. Sorry for the inconvenience. Error code: 400Tracking ID: 5912a244-f194-4c59-a4ae-cce6724ad3dc

    But the page tab also just says "you have been blocked"

    "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.
