Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override) User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override) Description
This policy configures the availability of the Copilot new tab page in Microsoft Edge for Business. The Copilot new tab page combines search and chat into a single input box and includes personalized cards that provide quick access to relevant files, calendar events, and suggested Copilot prompts. Users who do not have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license might experience limited relevance in Copilot prompt card content. Most policies that customize the New Tab Page are supported on the Copilot new tab page. For a complete list of supported and unsupported policies, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2330462. This policy applies only to Microsoft Entra ID profiles and controls the Copilot new tab page experience in Microsoft Edge for Business. This policy does not apply to the Copilot new tab page on MSA profiles. If you enable this policy, the Copilot new tab page is turned on. If you disable or don't configure this policy, the Copilot new tab page is turned off. When the policy is not configured, users can turn it on via user settings.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Recommended Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Recommended Value name: CopilotNewTabPageEnabled
Enabled: CopilotNewTabPageEnabled = 1
Disabled: CopilotNewTabPageEnabled = 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.
