I've already disabled Copilot in the sidebar. I've toggled off "Chat response on result page" in the search settings. I want the Copilot AI disabled from the search result page, preventing automatic chatboxes on searches, and not activating when scrolling to the top of the results page.
Managing tabs, address bar, and search settings in Edge on Windows 11

YES! It works! Thank you.
AND I now know how to change group policies when I get some frustrating message from Microsoft limiting me.
It has changed in edge - go to settings using the ... icon in top right corner. Then select Settings and in the left hand side bar select Copilot and Sidebar. Then in App and Notification Settings open the Copilot settings and deactivate as you require.
Keep doing this until your fingers bleed and you are left sobbing hopelessly at your desk while Copilot continues to function and invade every facet of your MS apps and software experience.
It doesnt work, all the other approaches don't work inc reg key edit. Copilot implementation in Office 365 is also intrusive and full of bugs.
Sorry I couldnt be much help - but at least you now know where the Copilot settings are
Thank you. Finally some truth!
Why can't we remove Copilot from Edge / Windows ?
Because for a while now, Windows has stopped being an OS and has become an AS... an Advertising System.
Understand this: AI is not for you. It's to help big corp make up adverts that are going to be so good, you're gonna go "That's what I was looking for!"
So if MS makes it possible to remove the imbedded AI out of Windows... their whole business model goes down the drain.
I know... I work for a big corp... and I fix broken Windows all day long.
I mean... Wha d'ya think? That Windows ain't a cash cow? That the following "services" aren't paid services?
It is not a joke people! For a home computer, linux is a viable alternative. Download whatever Linux distribution (flavor) you like the name of, set it up on a USB drive and run it. It won't affect your Windows' installation.
P. -S. Microsoft, If your " clients' " thinking has reached that point...
I've done this, as directed by Copilot itself. The toggle to "show copilot" was turned off and every time I log on, Edge pops up displaying an unhelpful copilot page and obscuring the work I actually want to accomplish.
And now I have to waste time searching for a solution.
