Managing tabs, address bar, and search settings in Edge on Windows 11
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
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.

I've tried everything.
The dam thing is off yet still it shows up results on the dam page - pissed off with Edge - time to delete and find a new browser.🤬
This is completely worthless and ineffective.
COPILOT IS A WASTE OF TIME AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE IT..
DESIGNED BY AN IDIOT.
Yes. But when I tell you how, it will not be long before Microsoft does something about it.
Run PowerShell in Admin mode the run the below command.
Get-AppxPackage *Copilot* | Remove-AppxPackage
Reboot.
You will probably have to do this after each set of patches.
Anything but Edge. Alas you can't uninstall it as it will keep putting the damn thing back with factory settings - same tactics as a patch upgrade that suddenly brings everything back into play that you've spent hours neutering before. They know they're doing it. The question is why?
The answer is advertising revenue. You'll get a warning that if you click on an advertised service in Edge and it leads to you buying the product, M$ gets commission. And you know they're tracking that from click to delivery. With RECALL, they'll soon be able to screenshot the evidence as well just in case you managed to limit their telemetry capture.
And as for Teams and Outlook. They are now defaulting to Edge when you click on a link from within those products.
This is no longer about providing you with computing and choice. This is controlling behaviour.
Guess it's time for a new browser then.....
Maybe when we all quit using Edge they'll get the idea?
