How do I turn off Copilot in Word documents?
I've just come off a frustrating hour on the chat with Microsoft Support and they had no answer to this issue. It appeared for me in build 2410 of Office 365 and so I reverted to build 2409.
To do that I ran CMD (as admisnitrator) and navigated to:
"\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun" then press enter
Then run: officec2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.15427.20194 then press enter
I've also turned off updates in Office which is not a great idea but hopefully this feature will become optional in a future build.
Good luck
This solution worked for me. Thanks so much jim1480 ! Im very disappointed MS made it so difficult to opt-out of using AI. The comments by students pointing out they can be penalized for using AI in their written work demonstrates just how ham-fisted this approach has been . Thanks again jim1480
