MC1269241 - Can't turn off antropic for agentmode

Hi,

 

I’m trying to figure out how to turn off the new feature where Anthropic is enabled by default for everyone in the EU for agent mode in excel and powerpoint, as described in the Message Center news in the title.

 

It is not possible to press Save when you have unchecked the setting unless you also consent to the terms of use, it is greyed out. Since we want the feature turned off, we do not want to agree to any terms of use.

 

Has anyone found a solution? This seems to be misconfigured.

    Seems that we cannot disable Anthropic for Agent Mode in Excel and PowerPoint without first consenting to the subprocessor terms.

    May consider disabling Anthropic as a Microsoft subprocessor globally, or disable the app-specific toggle but Agent Mode will stop working.
