How to Enable or Disable Edge Mini Menu
You enable or disable the Microsoft Edge Mini Menu to control whether a small menu appears when you highlight text on a webpage.
This Mini Menu, a feature within the popular Edge browser (built on the same Chromium engine as Chrome), provides quick actions like copying or searching selected text directly from the page. It offers a cleaner browsing experience if you prefer fewer pop-ups.
In Edge, this useful feature can be toggled on or off within the browser’s settings, giving you control over its behavior as you browse.
Enable or disable the Edge Mini Menu by navigating to Settings > Appearance and toggling “Show mini menu when selecting text.” Alternatively, use the Registry Editor at 🗝️HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge to modify the QuickSearchShowMiniMenu value.
