How to Enable Copilot Mode in Microsoft Edge on Windows 11
Copilot mode in Microsoft Edge version 136.0.3240.92 adds a built-in AI assistant that helps you search and write faster while you browse the web. This smart tool places a small chat icon next to your address bar to give you instant answers to your questions.
You can turn on this hidden 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.
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
You can turn Copilot mode Microsoft Edge on or off by using the main browser settings menu. Open the settings panel, find the AI innovations section, and use the toggle switch to enable or disable the feature. This gives you direct control over whether the AI assistant stays active while you browse the web.
- Open your Microsoft Edge browser.
- Click the Settings and more button (the three dots in the top right corner).
- Select Settings from the menu.
- Click on AI innovations in the menu on the left side of the screen.
- Use the toggle switch to turn Copilot Mode On or Off.
If the option does not appear, you may need to enable a hidden flag (an experimental browser setting) manually. (Admin privileges might be necessary depending on the system setup.)
edge://flags/#edge-copilot-mode
Closing the settings tab finishes the process. Microsoft Edge saves changes automatically.
Summary
If you cannot find Copilot mode Microsoft Edge in your standard browser settings, you can use hidden experimental features to force it to appear. Type `edge://flags/#edge-copilot-mode` into the address bar to access the advanced configuration menu and turn the feature on manually.
If the setting is still missing, type `edge://flags/#edge-copilot-mode` into the address bar to open the hidden experimental menu.
