How to Enable Copilot Mode in Microsoft Edge on Windows 11

This article explains how to enable or disable Copilot mode in Microsoft Edge on Windows 11.

Microsoft Edge is the default browser in Windows 11. However, users can switch to their preferred or favorite browser anytime. Edge is based on Chromium, similar to Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers today.

Beginning with Edge version 136.0.3240.92 and later, a new Copilot Mode feature is being introduced, enabling users to view suggested work and productivity-related Copilot prompts next to their search box on the NTP page.

Users may notice the Copilot icon in the search box, which allows them to click it and send their current search query to Copilot.

If you haven’t seen it in Edge, enable it by using the Edge flag edge://flags/#edge-copilot-mode in the Canary, Beta, and Dev channels of Edge.

Select “Copilot mode” on the Settings page on the left.
