How to disable Copilot in Outlook app (or web) for Windows 11

• To disable Copilot in Outlook on Windows 11 or the web, open the Outlook app or web version, click the gear icon (Settings), choose Copilot, uncheck “Turn on Copilot”, and click “Save.” This turns off the AI assistant across Outlook.

On Windows 11, it’s possible to disable the Copilot AI assistant in the Outlook app as well as in the web version of the email service, and in this guide, I’ll show you how to complete this configuration.

Although the AI assistant can help you create summaries, draft emails, and perform other tasks, not many people want to use this feature. As a result, the company added an option to disable Copilot in Outlook, in the same way it’s possible in the other Microsoft 365 apps, such as  Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.
