How to completely remove Copilot from Edge?

I have already done all that, but each time I start Edge again, Copilot still wants to have it's say. And Copilot response on result page is still turned on again after turning it off. Desperation answers are needed. So it is Bing doing it?

Yes, BING SEARCH is doing it... NOT EDGE. I think that most of you are misinterpreting A. User's problem. The problem is turning off Copilot in BING SEARCH, not Microsoft Edge. Turning off Copilot in Edge is easily done. Turning off Copilot in Bing Search is so far impossible. You will need to change the default search engine in Edge.

To change your default search engine in Microsoft Edge:

Hi Bob,

I might be cynical but, if you're using Bing (an M$ search engine) within Edge (an M$ browser) then they are going to do everything to ensure you get the M$ UX, whether that's what you want or not. You're up against brand identity I'm afraid.

I gave up on Bing shortly after it first came out and I discovered that it just doesn't cut the mustard. It hasn't really impressed me much since whenever it has re-injected itself during various upgrades. I have therefore set my search engine in Edge to use Chrome and removed Bing. This, and the regedit removal of the CoPilot has given me back control of my UX.

To what I understand from what I have read from other websites is that Copilot is embedded in the Bing Search Box, and Microsoft are not worrying about fixing the problem of allowing Copilot to be totally disabled or removed from the Bing Search Box.

I changed my default search engine under "Manage search engines" to Google using the Address Bar at the top, I now don't use the Bing Search Box. But what I don't understand is that you first must insert a minimum of a character in the Address Bar and press Enter before the Google Search Box displays directly under the Address Bar. It would be nice if the Google Search Box or at least a box to tick for the Google Search Box display, instead of using the Address Bar first.

In the section where you can change the Search Engine to Google or any other search engine, it shows Bing (Recommended). I think because Bing is Recommended that prevents Copilot from being disabled or removed from the Bing Search Box.

My frustrations with Copilot have eased knowing I can now use Google Search Engine via the Address Bar without the need to use the Bing Search Box.

I have already done all that, but each time I start Edge again, Copilot still wants to have it's say. And Copilot response on result page is still turned on again after turning it off. Desperation answers are needed. So it is Bing doing it?
