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.

    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.
