MicrosoftEdge Bar still is there in new Stable version for Windows 10, but auto-start is disabled
We’re aware that the Edge Bar isn't auto-starting and opening automatically for Windows 10 users after starting your desktop device. This functionality is temporarily disabled. We're working on bringing back the ability for Edge Bar to start automatically when you start your device. In the meantime, you can still launch Edge Bar from within the Edge sidebar via the gear icon (found in the bottom right corner).
If you can't see your sidebar in Edge, head to Settings->Sidebar->Always show sidebar to on.
We appreciate your patience. Feel free to leave us feedback in Edge Bar or here on how we can improve your experience. To learn more about Edge Bar, see: Move the Microsoft Edge sidebar to your Windows 10 desktop - Microsoft Support.
- It happens also on Windows 11
Hi Kelly_Y, how are you?
I've been using Edge Bar for a while now and it had an option to make it persistent, pinned to task bar, so you could use it anytime without having to open the browser. This option disappeared from my Edge and now I can only use it inside the browser. Is there a way to solve it or Microsoft disabled that option on purpose?
Regards,
Paulo Capelli

PauloCapelli Hi - Thanks for reaching out! We just released Microsoft Edge Stable Version 128.0.2739.42, which includes a new entry point in edge://settings/sidebar and includes an option to "Enable Edge Bar". This will allow you to detach the sidebar to the desktop to access your apps while outside of the browser.
Here is a screenshot:

Kelly_Y Hi!
Thanks! I've updated my Edge and now it has this option. I was worried that Microsoft would not bring back such an useful feature!
