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

Thanks for your comprehensive reply. I've tried most of what you suggested and have not been able to get rid of co-pilot! I have Win 10 pro and have "enabled" turn off copilot in Group policy etc. Still appears in Edge!
The following is what I have tried to turnoff or remove Copilot from the Edge browser.
I have turned Off Copilot from Edge Settings > Sidebar > App and Notification Settings > Copilot >
Within the Copilot Settings I have 'Show Copilot' - Turned Off.
'Automatically Open Copilot' is also Turned Off, along with 'Allow Microsoft to access page content' - Turned Off.
'Show shopping notifications' - Turned Off.
There has also been suggestions to remove Copilot completely by opening Group Policy User Configuration.
I only have WIndows 10 Home, however, Group Policy User Configuration is not available in the Home version.
Group Policy User Configuration is only available in Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise.
Don't know about WIndows 11 versions.
I also have tried changing the Default Search Engine - Edge Settings > Privacy, search and services.
Scrolling down the page to the end to the second last option Address Bar and Search >
I changed the Default Search Engine from Bing to Google.
As Bing is part of the Edge browser it reamains (Recommended)
After restarting the Edge browser, Bing is still my search engine, not Google.
To what I have read elsewhere, there is a problem with Bing and Copilot Search Box that does not recognise the change.
All I know is that since Copilot was added to the Edge browser it has and continues to be a pain and inconvenient enhancement to me
The Copilot icons cannot be removed so they will always display whether turned on or not.
I hope the above information helps with other peoples frustration with Copilot.
Scroll up past the top of the page to activate the "Copilot" function. Once it is open and populating results, you'll see 3 bars in the top, right corner. You can click on those bars and it'll open a menu and let you toggle off the 2 settings that activate the copilot pop up annoyance. Hope this helps some of you.
Hello -
There is a group policy entry to disable copilot, you have to enable it. I have not tried it but it seems like a good option.
Here is where you need to go:
It is called Disable Windows Copilot and can be found under User Configuration => Administrative Templates => Windows Components => Windows Copilot.
There are many ways to launch the group policy editor. You can do a search from the WINDOWS SEARCH TOOL BAR for "group policy" or it can be opened from the Command Prompt. Open a Windows Command Prompt and type 'gpedit' or 'gpedit. msc', then hit Enter
Hope this does the trick for you.

Same for me.... can't get rid of the frigging copilot! Where's the ejector button for the copilot!
