Learn how to quickly and easily disable the mini menu that appears when you select text in the Microsoft Edge browser on Windows 11.
Microsoft Edge has several small but useful features that improve your productivity and make using the browser easy. One such feature is the Mini Menu, which appears when you select text on any web page in the Edge browser and allows you to perform actions. By default, this menu shows options such as Ask Copilot, Copy, Search, and More Actions. Selecting the ‘More Actions’ option opens the regular right-click context menu.
While this menu is useful, there might be situations where it gets in your way or slows down your browsing experience. Whatever the reason, if you don’t want to see the mini-menu when you select text, you can disable it via Edge Settings.
This guide shows you two methods to disable the Mini Menu in the Microsoft Edge browser. Let’s get started.

- Press the “Windows” key to open the Start menu.
- Search for and open “Microsoft Edge“.
- Select text in any web page.
- Click the “More actions” (three horizontal) icon in the main menu.
- Select the “Hide menu” > “Hide menu always” option.
- With that, the mini menu is disabled in Edge.
