new version of O365 home page?

This update is so bad... There was super useful landing page I used several times a day. Now its all gone and I have Copilot, not even close to best AI chats. Thanks but I keep using the ones that were working year ago. I would try this out, if it wasn't force feed. Please come to your senses and bring back the landing page and especially the recent files, that was super useful

I worked at MS for several years. It's not baffeling at all - they have an enourmous ego & stacks of hubris & believe they know better then their paying customers.

I agree with the other comments. Bring back the Office 365 Portal homepage. I Don't want my landing page to be co-pilot! And to be honest I'm not that impressed with the copilot product.

I too am furious over these changes. I could not do my work yesterday when it kicked in. My excel is not even loading properly and I cant access my shared files.

I am self-employed, pay for my own subscription. But I also use some clients subscriptions on the same computer that they have paid for as it links in for them.

I recently found that Microsoft Computer I used picked up the most frequently used email, which was a clients and automatically decided it was solely relating to all my work.

I became aware of this when a separate client emailed me back in a reply and it came up on another clients emails. The programmes automatically decided on my computer that this must me my automatic email address. Took me a whole day to sort out.

Sick of Microsoft at the minute.

Microsoft is a disaster at the minute.

The co-piolet is not wanted by me - I don't want it. Its not a game we are using your programmes for working - you should not have just wiped out what we were using without asking if we wanted to move to the co-piolet version.

Please return as it was!

In the last hour, I went on to my computer to use Excel, the computer brought me straight online to use the Co piolet and work online with the excel, which I do not wish to do. I am sick of it.

Dear Charlene Evans,

I understand that the recent change in the Microsoft 365 interface to Copilot may cause discomfort and be difficult to accept for some users. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this transition may have caused.

However, as a forum moderator, I do not have the authority to directly alter the interface or features of the product. Each update from Microsoft is aimed at long-term goals of improving user experience and enhancing convenience during use.

To my knowledge, this change is intended to strengthen user data security. Some feedback has indicated that when accessing office.com (especially in public or crowded places) documents stored in the cloud could be publicly visible, potentially leading to unintended personal data exposure.

If you or other users would like to have an option such as a toggle button for the new interface, I encourage you to submit your feedback through Microsoft’s official feedback portal at https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/.

You may mark this post as “Mark as answer” to help prioritize its visibility on the forum and in search results for other users. This will make it easier for others to access the information, especially as many users are raising similar concerns.

Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for sharing your perspective so candidly.

Best regards,

Ryan-N-MSFT | Microsoft Community Support Specialist
