This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off showing Windows 11 visual effects in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 11.
Starting with Microsoft Edge version 122.0.2349.0, the "Show Windows 11 visual effects in browser" setting adds the Mica effect when using the default theme in Microsoft Edge. This functionality depends on your device and Windows settings.
