# Microsoft Edge Mini Menu Configuration

Instructions for disabling the Microsoft Edge Mini Menu

In 2021, Microsoft Edge introduce a vertical Mini Menu menu that appears on text selection. Reasons to disable the Mini Menu:

* The Mini Menu includes actions that are non-compliant (e.g., "Ask Copilot", which transmits page data to Microsoft Copilot)
* In many cases, the Mini Menu location conflicts with the PixieBrix Action Menu

### Disable the Mini Menu for a Single Browser

1. Open `edge://settings/appearance`
2. Under the "Context menus" section, toggle off "Show mini menu when selecting text"

### Disable the Mini Menu via Windows Registry

To disable the Mini Menu via the Windows Registry, configure the Edge value:

```
SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
```

| Key                     |            | Value |
| ----------------------- | ---------- | ----- |
| QuickSearchShowMiniMenu | REG\_DWORD | 0     |

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pixiebrix.com/enterprise-it-setup/browser-extension-installation-and-configuration/browser-extension-configuration-policy/microsoft-edge-mini-menu-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
