SABnzbd & new Microsoft Edge "Discover" button

Post by rlb48400 »

The latest Microsoft Edge update adds a "Discover" button at the right end of the bar at the top of the page below the tabs. I've learned how to get rid of it when using Edge as an internet browser but SABnzbd uses Edge to access http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd/. And when it does, the Discover button is annoyingly back. Is there any way to prevent this? TIA -- Bob

Answering my own question...

1. Create a text file and name it (for example) "win 11 edge disable discover sidebar".
2. Edit the file with (say) Notepad and insert the following text into it:
<text>
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"HubsSidebarEnabled"=dword:00000000
</text>
3. Save the file & exit Notepad.
4. Change the file's extension from "txt" to "reg".
5. Double-click on win 11 edge disable discover sidebar.reg
6. Wave bye-bye to Bing Discover.
HTH.
