I didn’t know that! But, it totally makes sense.

Ugh, I’m sorry! That’s so frustrating. I really hope they implement the ability to disable it across the board soon!

I should have mentioned there are instructions in the link for Mac.

I have a PC. I followed these instructions and was able to disable Copilot in Word. Of course, it applies to Microsoft 365 so I’m not sure about other plans. support.microsoft.com/en-us/office...

I’ve found that you can disable Copilot by going into file and then options and there is a Copilot box to disable. However, this feature only works in Word so far (doesn’t apply to PowerPoint, Excel, Access, etc.). And I totally agree how infuriating it is, especially because of the annoying icon!
