Removing Copilot

Removing Copilot. Seems it its impossible to remove this app from the computer I BOUGHT.

I asked Copilot how to remove it from MY computer.

Here is what it told me: "If you want to completely remove Microsoft 365 Copilot from your computer, you will need to uninstall the Microsoft 365 applications that include Copilot features. Here are the general steps to uninstall Microsoft 365 applications: Open Control Panel: You can do this by searching for "Control Panel" in the Start menu. Go to Programs and Features: In the Control Panel, click on "Programs" and then "Programs and Features." Find Microsoft 365: Look for "Microsoft 365" or "Office 365" in the list of installed programs. Uninstall: Select the Microsoft 365 application and click on "Uninstall." Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation process. Please note that uninstalling Microsoft 365 will remove all associated applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and others. If you only want to disable Copilot features, you might want to check the settings within each application to see if there is an option to turn off Copilot. If you need further assistance, feel free to ask!"

This why, by the end of the year, I will no longer have any Microsoft products or software.

BTW, even this form page is poorly designed and not user friendly.

    Same here. I switched my subscription to the 100GB ($20/year) plan. Will be using LibreOffice or OpenOffice.

    This is not true at all. I have no Microsoft 365 programs on my computer, yet it is running. Explain how they got it on my system, and on a fresh install of Windows 10?

    Microsoft Copilot is a separate program installed on Windows 10. You can uninstall it.
