    How does one disable copilot in Word? The things I’ve thought of don’t seem to work or it wouldn’t let me do.

            I would specifically add details about how Copilot is interfering with your work flow by causing the software to lag every time you paste something. Add some back of the envelope math showing how much time and money it’s costing them per day/week/month to have you let copilot lag your computer.

          Then it’s work’s problem. Don’t use it for personal things (which, really, you shouldn’t do anyway for basically the same reason).

            True. I keep that shit on-campus and don’t cross-contaminate.

            Also pretty funny when coworkers are annoyed by work emails showing up on their phones and I’m just like “give me a work phone, then.”

      Honest answer? Uninstall and reinstall with modified install instructions to only install the last version pre-copilot integration and disable updates.
      The other options are more like ‘turn off this copilot button’ not an actual disable.

          I did this and annoyingly it just so happens the last pre-copilot version (i beleive) also has the old grey toobars & interface, rather than the white & colorful versions.
