    I’m 90% sure I found an option to make it go away? (Desktop app)

      An option to disable Copilot exists, but you need to be the admin of your account. I think most people still using Office (365 is a dumb name) have it via a work license, in which case the option to disable Copilot must be done as a company-wide policy by whoever administrates it at that level.

        The option is Options -> Copilot -> “Show Copilot Icon Only For Highly Relevant Suggestions”, it basically makes it go away.

        BUT, its gone for me now! but it seems to be gone and checked as I don’t get the stupid popups. (you can google the setting to see that it did exist)

        See my other reply here, but if you’re the admin for your account, open the desktop version of Excel (or Word or PowerPoint or OneNote) and navigate to File > Options > General. There’s supposedly an Enable Copilot checkbox somewhere there.

        To anyone else who might find this comment later, disabling Copilot is not currently possible in any of the web versions.
