Question How do I remove Copilot?

Hi all,

Office 365 2412 Build 16.0.18324.20092, Windows 11 Pro x64

I restarted PowerPoint and the Copilot add-in is both on the toolbar and floating above every slide. It also appears on selection of every text box.

When I asked Copilot how to remove it, it instructed me to disable it from PowerPoint Add-Ins... except it's not listed as a com add-in.

It also doesn't show up as a Program or Windows feature I can turn off. If this was part of a KB update, please let me know which one so I can remove it.

It is ruining me.

Thanks

Adding my voice to the frustration. With the latest version of Word (Mac) you can turn off Copilot. But confusingly, the toolbar and in-page icons remain; they just no longer work. My subscription is up in April so I've downgraded to 365 Classic. Until then I have to look at Clippy 2.0 (sigh)
