This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable Copilot Mode in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Microsoft Edge version 136.0.3240.92 and higher is getting Copilot Mode in a controlled feature rollout. Starting at the end of May 2025, users may see suggested work and productivity-related Copilot prompts by their search box on the NTP page. Also, users may see the Copilot icon in their search box allowing them to click on the icon to send their current search query to Copilot. If Copilot Mode is not currently available, you can enable the Edge Copilot Mode
edge://flags/#edge-copilot-mode flag to have it available now in the Canary, Beta, and Dev channels of Edge.When you turn on Copilot Mode in Microsoft Edge, the following new features will be available:
- Copilot-inspired New Tab Page: Chat, search and navigate with a modern new tab page- inspired by Copilot. Turn off Copilot Mode to disable this feature.
- Context clues: Copilot may give better answers based on the current webpage, browser history, or your preferences in Microsoft Edge.
- Built-in Copilot Search: The next generation of web search powered by Copilot. When enabled, web searches performed on the new tab page will be handled by Copilot Search. This setting can be turned on or off when Copilot Mode is turned on. Turning off Copilot Mode will disable this feature.
