You can’t fully uninstall AI features from Edge, but you can disable most of them. In Edge settings, go to Sidebar and turn off Copilot/Discover. Under Privacy → Address bar and search, switch the default search engine to something other than Bing. If you want stricter control, use Group Policy or Registry edits to disable the sidebar completely. This way, Edge feels much lighter and free of unwanted AI tools.
