How do I turn off Copilot in Word documents?
I don't need Copilot in my word documents and I don't need the copilot icon stalking me on every page when I begin to type. Its very distracting. How do I disable Copilot?
harry18garg appreciate the response but I don't have a Copilot light bulb that opens a new panel. I have 2 icons (one in the word doc itself that when clicked says to type text to generate a draft) and one icon in the toolbar that again asks for you to enter text to generate text. See attached photos to see if they are the same as yours.
Same for me. Have you solved this yet?
- so far, the only means I've found is to use gpedit.msc (with admin privilege). This approach appears to be available for global purposes.
Local Computer Policy/User Configuration/Windows Components/Windows Copilot/Turn off Windows Copilot/ and enable this policy.
"This policy setting allows you to turn off Windows Copilot.
If you enable this policy setting, users will not be able to use Copilot. The Copilot icon will not appear on the taskbar either.
If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users will be able to use Copilot when it's available to them. "
good luck
