CoPilot Is in the Way

Microsoft's constantly pushing CoPilot obstructs workflows, distracts focus, and is not effective. For example, although I've disabled CoPilot in Word in one installation and there is no CoPilot tab under Options in another installation, every time I start the app in the computer where there is no CoPilot Option tab, there are extremely distracting tiles at the top of the screen. If this continues, I'll be switching to LibxxOfficx (the full name is disallowed in this forum). In the meantime, does anyone know how to turn off these amazingly unproductive ads?
