Posted March 8Mar 8 Microsoft Edge 138 is now available on the Stable Channel, and it brings an AI-enhanced search experience and a couple of new features for business customers. This update will also better surface performance notifications to help users take action when Edge starts to slow down.The new AI-powered History search experience, which will roll out gradually to Edge users, will make it possible to find previously visited websites using synonyms, natural language phrases, and minor spelling errors. The feature is powered by an on-device AI model, and Microsoft made it clear that no user data is being sent to its servers. AI-powered History search can also be disabled by IT admins with a new policy.Windows Intelligence In Your InboxSign up for our new free newsletter to get three time-saving tips each Friday — and get free copies of Paul Thurrott's Windows 11 and Windows 10 Field Guides (normally $9.99) as a special welcome gift!Email*Microsoft Edge 138 also lets enterprise users who set up a Primary Work profile use it to open all external links by default. Usually, Edge uses the last used profile to open these links, which may not be ideal in an enterprise environment. This is also a controlled feature rollout that IT admins will be able to manage.For enterprise users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription, Microsoft Edge 138 introduces a Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat summarization menu item to the browser’s context menu. The new AI feature, which will also roll out gradually, lets users ask questions about their open pages.Lastly, Microsoft is integrating Copilot into Edge’s search box and new tab page. Users may click the new Copilot icon in the search box to send their current search query to Copilot. Moreover, the search box and new tab page may start showing suggested work and productivity-related Copilot prompts. These new Copilot entry points can beWhat is Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime?Microsoft Edge WebView2 is a runtime installation used to provide web-based features in Microsoft 365 desktop apps that Microsoft began installing on Windows devices earlier this year. WebView2 uses Microsoft Edge as the rendering engine.In Windows 11, the component is installed on the system by default. On earlier versions of Windows, it is automatically installed for users with modern versions of Microsoft Office for the specific purpose of running Office applications and the components built into the applications, built on top of web frameworks.For PC users looking to take advantage of new or improved Office features or add-ins that depend on WebView2, they do not require any user input/action; as soon as WebView2 is available on the device, the component will be installed automatically. Regarding updates, WebView2 Runtime uses its own automatic update process, separate from the update channel used by Microsoft 365 Apps, to keep WebView2 up to date with the latest security and reliability updates.Silent installationWindows 11/10Edge with WebView2https://www.mediafire.com/file/l1ztbgnljp0pkt2/Microsoft+Edge-WebView2+Runtime+138.0.3351.55+AIO+Silent+Install.7z/file https://seyarabata.com/685f1977dcac3Windows 7/8Silent installationMicrosoft Edge-WebView2 Runtime 109.0.1518.140 Aio Win 7 Silent InstallEdge with WebView2https://www.mediafire.com/file/3uckk412kgsd9m3/Microsoft+Edge-WebView2+Runtime+109.0.1518.140+Aio+Win+7+Silent+Install.7z/filehttps://mir.cr/0EUVSWWV Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by T3rM1nat0Rr3

This issue affected activating a role assignment in Privileged Identity Management.Feature updatesUse Primary work profile as default profile to open external links. Microsoft Edge currently opens external links using the “Last Used” profile by default. While for enterprise users, the Primary Work Profile (signed in with a Microsoft Entra ID for enrolling the device) is normally the best profile for opening external links. With this feature, for Windows, Edge checks if the Primary Work Profile exists and makes it the default profile for opening external links if available. For Mac and Linux, if only one work profile signed in with a Microsoft Entra ID account is found, it’s treated as the Primary Work Profile. Admins can control availability to this feature using the EdgeOpenExternalLinksWithPrimaryWorkProfileEnabled policy. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.New Autofill Personal Information Settings Configuration. A web form field collection consent toggle will be available in Autofill settings (edge://settings/autofill/personalInfo). This allows users to consent to Microsoft Edge collecting web form field labels (for example, "First Name," "Email") to improve Autofill suggestion accuracy. Only field labels are collected and not user-entered data. The web field labels are stored securely per Microsoft's privacy standards.This new setting is manageable via existing policies in Autofill (for example, AutofillAddressEnabled, EdgeAutofillMlEnabled. AutofillAddressEnabled) is the parent setting for (EdgeAutofillMlEnabled)[/deployedge/microsoft-edge-browser-policies/edgeautofillmlenabled]. The EdgeAutofillMlEnabled policy is the parent of this new setting, thus turning off the EdgeAutofillMlEnabled policy turns off this setting. Note: These features are a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see these features, check back as we continue our rollout.AI-powered History search. Enhanced search finds sites in your History even when you use a synonym, phrase, or typo. After this feature is turned on, sites you visit will be shown in enhanced history search results. An on-device model is trained using your data, which never leaves your device and is never sent to Microsoft. Admins can control availability to this feature using the EdgeHistoryAISearchEnabled policy. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat Summarization in Microsoft Edge Context Menu. Microsoft Edge is introducing a Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat summarization menu item to our context menu. This feature helps users quickly unpack and ask questions about their open page. Note: This feature is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.Improvements to surfacing performance notifications. Microsoft Edge is making improvements to how users can learn about and improve their browser's responsiveness. Performance and Extensions Detector notifications may appear in the Settings and more menu when Edge's performance slows. Note: This feature is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.Copilot on the Microsoft Edge New Tab Page (NTP). Starting at the end of May 2025, users may see suggested work and productivity-related Copilot prompts by their search box on the NTP page. Also, users may see the Copilot icon in their search box allowing them to click on the icon to send their current search query to Copilot. The Copilot admin policy NewTabPageBingChatEnabled continues to be enforced and will still apply. NTP changes are rolled out to all Microsoft Edge release channels. Note: These features are a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see these features, check back as we continue our rollout.Adding support for viewing Sensitivity labels applied to a Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) Protected PDF. Enterprise customers can view sensitivity labels applied to MIP protected PDF to be well informed of the data classification to enable them to handle such sensitive documents. This change is available in the new Microsoft Edge built-in PDF reader. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this feature, check back as we continue our rollout.Policy updatesNew policiesBuiltInAIAPIsEnabled - Allow pages to use the built-in AI APIsEdgeHistoryAISearchEnabled - Control access to AI-enhanced search in HistoryEdgeOpenExternalLinksWithPrimaryWorkProfileEnabled - Use Primary Work Profile as default to open external linkLocalNetworkAccessRestrictionsEnabled - Specifies whether to block requests from public websitesPrefetchWithServiceWorkerEnabled - Allow SpeculationRules prefetch for ServiceWorker-controlled URLsTLS13EarlyDataEnabled - Control whether TLS 1.3 Early Data is enabled in Microsoft EdgeObsoleted policiesInsecurePrivateNetworkRequestsAllowed - Specifies whether to allow websites to make requests to any network endpoint in an insecure manner (obsolete)InsecurePrivateNetworkRequestsAllowedForUrls - Allow the listed sites to make requests to more-private network endpoints from in an insecure manner (obsolete)PrivateNetworkAccessRestrictionsEnabled - Specifies whether to apply restrictions to requests to more private network endpoints (obsolete)ZstdContentEncodingEnabled - Enable zstd content encoding support (obsolete)NoteFor the latest web platform features and updates, see Microsoft Edge 138 web platform release notes (June 2025)
