And yet, after finding and changing those settings, and restarting, OneNote still displays the Copilot icon, ready to summarize my page.

Windows 11, 23H2. I should have said. Very fluid situation there. Thanks!
*******
Late breaking development is that on my other Win 11 23H2 laptop, I do see the Microsoft 365 Copilot entry. And I use a local account on that laptop. Hmmm.
I wonder if I turned it off then logged in with Microsoft account it would be turned back on again? Not sure I’ve yet had enough wine to try that.

I understand that AI is here. I’m not struggling with that other than I think it’s early going. I can’t tell you how often I’ve given a thumbs down to Google’s AI answers because they’re old, not what I asked, or just plain wrong.
What I struggle with is the aggressive way Microsoft is shoving Copilot at me within MS 365 when I don’t feel the need to use it. It’s not a matter of which AI is better, it’s a matter of do I want or need it at all?
So far I don’t. I don’t want help writing. I don’t need Copilot selecting a random word in OneNote that it thinks I might want information about, when all I want is to add a quick edit. It’s distracting and gets in my way. If nothing else, I have to click away from the word it chose before I can type. (And of course ponder why it chose that word.)
I’d like to be able to choose when and if I use Copilot without it constantly hovering, trying to remind me to use it.

I have 365 Family, followed the “every six months” link in the article to change updates to every six months. Didn’t work. Double-checked what I did. Again, bupkis.
Ah well. I’m beginning to think Microsoft doesn’t want me to have a stable environment.

My husband and I each have a Win 7 Pro at home. He started getting the error and I did not. So I wondered what was different. Using the article at Bleeping Computer, I noted that my computer was running two Adobe services: Adobe Update Services (automatic), and Adobe Flash Update (manual). I checked his and found Adobe Genuine Monitor Service and Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Service. The only Adobe product installed on his laptop is Reader, so I disabled those two “extra” services.
I then shut down his laptop (using the log-off > red shut down button), rebooted, then tried to shut down again. NO ERROR.
At least on his laptop, it’s the Adobe Monitor and Software Integrity Services that produced the error.
Go figure.

I was not able to find the info that led to my post, above. So I called Fidelity and they are not pulling the rug out from under Win 7 users. However, they do have a gentle warning. This is what I was told.
Fidelity will support Win 7 on a “best efforts basis as long as it has a pulse.” But “What you will encounter is trouble with the browser…. As browsers update, they will support [Windows 7] less and less.”
Will browsers continue supporting Win 7 if Microsoft’s paid support takes off and a large user base persists?
I humbly apologize for any FUD spread.
