Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 104, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override) User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override) Description
Enables the Microsoft Edge mini menu on websites and PDFs. The mini menu appears when users select text and provides basic actions like Copy and smart actions such as Definitions. If you enable or don't configure this policy, selecting text on websites or PDFs shows the mini menu. If you disable this policy, the mini menu doesn't appear when users select text on websites or PDFs. Note: Starting in Microsoft Edge for Mac version 143, this policy is obsolete because the mini menu feature is removed on Mac.

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.
