CoPilot in Outlook 2016


It's creeping in everywhere! Now PowerPoint!
It's on the Ribbon, so, at least you can remove it!

The Copilot icon can be removed, there is a Copilot on/off setting in Options. The newer Copilot menu (text, not icon) on the ribbon cannot be removed. There is absolutely nothing in Options. We can just ignore it. Also it is not functional, I don't know about the icon.

All these sites refer to the Copilot button for which there is an in/off toggle in Options. The newer Copilot menu (text) cannot be removed, the on/off toggle is not present in Options. It's part of the application GUI and cannot be removed. It's like trying to hide one of the Ribbon tabs.

There is no fix for the new text "Copilot" appearing top right on the ribbon.
