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
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Why Microsoft wants you to go through these useless procedures to remove copilot when they don't want you to do that is beyond me. all of my settings are turned off for copilot and it still appears when I search.
It doesn't work to remove from Edge, just your computer.
Appreciate you!!
Circling back to the original thread question, unless your Windows Operating System version and/or the corporate administrative policies applied are preventing you editing the registry to neuter this particular feral creature, then you need to follow the earlier instructions to clean it from Edge. (this won't have any effect other M$ products such as Dynamics365, but at least in that product you get the option to toggle it on/off - for now.)
Vote with your feet and stop using Edge browser, although you may be forced back that way by a URL that demands it will only work if opened in Edge (yep - those anti-trust rulings can be circumvented by claiming it is for product security).
and as for S.L.Bradford's comments, I'm with you all the way. Been doing this since error codes were a set of light bulb sequences that needed translating in an A0 sized engineering manual and the way M$ treats its customers is abysmal. I remember in the early 90's Gates saying that he'd given users too much power through Windows PCs, and here we are all the way back to good old-fashion bureau computing , but these days it's called cloud subscription and you can't sweat the assets for cheaper running costs anymore. And if you do find a way to run it cheaply, they simply bang the prices up to maintain their share dividends.
You may get through to a sympathetic ear, it will be very difficult (impossible?) to reach anyone at Microsoft who will actually be able/willing to help. You can send them a letter - but unfortunately this is the issue with mega companies like Microsoft that own such a massive portion of the computing environment (and I have used their products since Bill got his hands on DOS). AI is one of those "trains" that everyone is going to try to not only ride but to rise to the "Engineer of the railway". Rather than trying to deal with Microsoft, it's likely better if anyone concerned reaches out to our government to continue to raise the alarm. Not that the folks there will know what to do - but eventually they are going to have to step in to set up some guardrails. In the meantime, all most of we minions can do is continue to raise up our concerns here and elsewhere - without much hope that we can do things in regedit or with other mainstream software that will arise to "help" us deflect the AI intrusion. And I'm not a pessimist. I've just been in the personal computer environment since it started and speaking from how they have responded to every consumer concern since the beginning - irregardless of which major company (Apple, Microsoft, even beloved Linux).
