Copilot mode in Microsoft Edge version 136.0.3240.92 adds a built-in artificial intelligence assistant straight into your browser to help you search faster and write better. This smart tool puts a small chat icon right next to your address bar so you can ask questions and get instant answers while you browse the web.

You can turn on this hidden AI feature using a special shortcut command if it does not show up by default. This trick works best on testing versions of the browser like Canary, Beta, or Dev.

⚡ Quick Answer

Open Edge settings, click “AI innovations” in the left menu, and use the toggle to enable Copilot Mode. If the option is missing, navigate to edge://flags/#edge-copilot-mode in your address bar.

How to turn Copilot Mode on or off

The browser’s settings menu controls Copilot mode directly. Finding the setting under ‘AI innovations’ lets a toggle switch control whether Copilot stays active.

  1. Click the Settings and more button (the three dots in the top right corner).
  2. Select Settings from the menu.
  3. Click on AI innovations in the menu on the left side of the screen.
  4. Use the toggle switch to turn Copilot Mode On or Off.

📝Note
 A hidden flag (an experimental browser setting) might be necessary to enable the option manually if it does not appear. (Admin privileges might be necessary depending on the system setup.)
💻Code
edge://flags/#edge-copilot-mode
Edge Copilot mode feature enabled

Closing the settings tab finishes the process. Microsoft Edge saves changes automatically.

Summary

Microsoft Edge saves changes automatically when the settings tab closes. Typing `edge://flags/#edge-copilot-mode` into the address bar opens the experimental features page if regular settings hide the Copilot mode option.

Typing `edge://flags/#edge-copilot-mode` directly into the address bar opens the hidden menu of experimental features if the setting remains missing in Microsoft Edge on Windows 11.
