Microsoft Edge 104was released in August 2022 with a feature that may annoy some users.
A new sidebar on the right side of the screen includesshortcuts to a handful of other Microsoft products.
Let’s turn it off.
The sidebar includes shortcuts to Microsoft Office, Outlook, MSN Games, and more.
If you see the sidebar, we’ll show you how to easily turn it off.
First, nudge the three-dot menu icon from the right side of the top toolbar.
Now select “Hide Sidebar” toward the bottom of the menu.
That’s all there is to it.
Sadly, this is yet another example ofMicrosoft stuffing unnecessary features in Edge.
Enabling it by default for some people is especially egregious.
Thankfully, you’re free to turn it off.
