I forgot to say "Search by voice" option is on the new tab page on Windows 11.

 

But it is missing on all versions of Edge on Windows 10 😞

 

The "Search by voice" option was actually on new tab page in the Canary builds for a while but it was removed the other day.

 

So strange and I would really like Microsoft to tell us what is going on?

      Wait so are you saying going forward the "Search by voice" option on new tabs in Edge will only be available in Windows 11 and beyond?

        I'm not sure, but you said it's available in Windows 11 for you so just update your computers to latest OS version
