How to Turn Off AI Features in Microsoft Edge

Here's the thing though—not everyone wants these features turned on by default. If you'd rather work without them, the good news is disabling them takes just a few clicks.

The process is straightforward. All you need to do is adjust your browser's default settings. Let's walk through it step by step.

Can you completely uninstall or remove AI components from Edge?

No. You can disable or hide AI features, but you cannot fully uninstall the underlying AI components from Edge itself.
