How to completely remove Copilot from Edge?

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.

    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.

    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:

    Yes, it seems to be the only way. It is a pity that Microsoft wouldn't listen to their users and allow them to make the choice of whether to use Copilot or not, instead of forcing it to be used.
