How to disable Copilot in Windows Notepad

Like other Microsoft office apps, Windows Notepad now includes Copilot features built in. Some people may like the Copilot features (create a prompt-based draft document, summarize a document, change a document's tone or format, etc.) but others may rather disable Notepad's new AI-related capabilities.

If you want to disable Copilot in Windows Notepad, simply follow the steps below. You can re-enable Copilot at any time if you change your mind.

• Click or tap the Settings button (the gear icon) in the upper right corner of the Notepad window.

• Scroll down to the AI Features section of the Settings menu.
• The toggle switch next to Copilot will be set to On (if Copilot is enabled). Click or tap it to change it to Off.
