How do I stop Copilot from adding to my Outlook?
I'm using Outlook Classic, and every day Copilot adds itself to my Outlook. I right-click and select uninstall, but the next day it comes right back. I do not want Copilot. How do I stop Copilot from adding to my Outlook. I've included screenshots to see what I'm talking about.
Version:
Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2504 Build 16.0.18730.20122) 64-bit

Copilot keeps coming back because it’s likely being auto-installed by Microsoft updates or your organization’s settings. You can try removing it under File > Options > Add-ins, but if it returns daily, it’s probably managed by your IT or policy settings. You may need to contact your admin or IT support to permanently block it.
Typically I can answer questions without an internet search but I remember doing this actually to mine a long time ago. I did add copilot for sales on my own. This is what it said and that's what I remember doing lol.
To disable Copilot in Outlook, navigate to File > Options > Copilot and clear the "Enable Copilot" checkbox
Hi Magnus, if you right click on the app, can you "Unpin" it? I believe you should be able to. I just opened mine to show you (mine looks different as I have the copilot sales installed)
Thanks Lisa. I have been doing this step daily, but it keeps adding itself back every day. I've asked our company Microsoft 365 admin if they have a policy that keeps pushing it, but they say they do not, although I think they do, so I'm still trying to find a way to block it from reinstalling itself daily. I'm not on a company PC, I'm on my personal PC with my own copy of Outlook Classic, but I'm logged in with my company email, so I think it's still pushing the company policies onto my Outlook.
