Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override) User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override) Description
When browsing with Copilot is enabled, users can explicitly invoke it for a query. It isn't invoked automatically. Browsing with Copilot is available only on domains specified in the 'BrowsingWithCopilotAllowList' (Browsing with Copilot Allowed URLs) policy and is blocked on domains specified in the 'BrowsingWithCopilotBlockList' (Browsing with Copilot Blocked URLs) policy. If no domains are configured in the allow list, browsing with Copilot is effectively disabled. This feature is available only to users with an active Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription. For more information about configuring browsing with Copilot, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=2341535. If you enable this policy, browsing with Copilot is turned on for all users who receive the policy, and users can't turn it off. If you disable this policy, browsing with Copilot is turned off for all users who receive the policy, and users can't turn it on. If you don't configure this policy, browsing with Copilot is off by default, and users can turn it on.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Recommended Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Recommended Value name: AllowBrowsingWithCopilot
Enabled: AllowBrowsingWithCopilot = 1
Disabled: AllowBrowsingWithCopilot = 0
Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
