Well those instructions only tell you how to turn it on. Not off. This should be a simple radio button...on or off. There is simply no actual way to remove it...and that is by design. No reason to do this unless you just don't care and want to steal as much data from your users as possible. Copilot as AI is not processed locally on the machine. That means anything it does in Office is uploaded to MS Copilot servers. Meaning MS has access to your communications/documents and represents a HUGE privacy risk not to mention subject to government warrant of which the user has no control.. The fact that they make changes like this without giving you an easy way to uninstall is MS deliberately circumventing your privacy to hawk their latest substandard product. If I want AI I'll pay for Grok or ChatGPT, not the completely worthless abomination that is Copilot. Fix this nonsense Microsoft...no one wants this garbage, though it's not like MS has ever cared what the consumer has wanted.
