Allow removal of "Copilot Suggestions" from right-click menu
I have been using Excel for decades and CONSTANTLY use the right-click menu for quick access to basic functions (e.g., "Insert"). Ever since "Copilot Suggestions" was added to the drop-down list, it always throws me off due to its placement. I have Microsoft 365 on Windows 11 Pro. I have searched for ways to remove this from appearing there and the result said "go to File > Options > Copilot and uncheck the 'Enable Copilot' box". However, when I attempt to do that, there is NO "Copilot" option available! PLEASE allow removal of "Copilot Suggestions" from the right-click menu OR at least the option to move it to the bottom (so it isn't in the way of things used ALL the time). I realize that Copilot is a great resource for many users, but I am confident in my Excel skills and in my ability to research/learn new skills the "old school" way, so I have little use for this feature now and would prefer to hide it.

Having a table of serial numbers that looks like this is beyond idiotic.
But sure Excel, add more slop features like "Copilot Suggestions". Microslop you are regarded.I also want this removed as it serves no purpose. Adding this "feature" with no way to remove it shows how little MS cares about its user base.
this is such an asinine addition. Copilot can't even accurately read data, how could it have a useful suggestion??
Hellokchecketts,
There is currently no supported way to remove or move the "Copilot Suggestions" item from Excel’s right-click menu. Microsoft only provides the option to disable Copilot entirely. If your Excel build shows the Copilot setting, go to File > Options > Copilot and uncheck Enable Copilot, then restart Excel. If your build does not show this option, there is no official method to hide the right-click entry.

We already know there is no supported way to remove it we're asking for a supported way to be created.
Yes please this is driving me crazy, it's right where I expect the 'insert' option to be.
