It worked for me. Thank you..If you use the policy, Edge has to obey!
Code:reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" /v "HubsSidebarEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" /v "SearchInSidebarEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "2" /f reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" /v "StandaloneHubsSidebarEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

Works great.
Just one question:
If i eventually want to revert the command, its possible to do?
Thanks a lot!

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" /v "StandaloneHubsSidebarEnabled"Each entry will prompt you for a confirmation.
You will need to restart your browser and the sidebar will be there again.

Thank you very much! It worked perfectly.If you use the policy, Edge has to obey!
I think Edge is the best browser at the moment, both for Windows and Android, but they're getting annoying with those Copilot, Sidebar and similar things.... They are starting to move away from what they were in the beginning....

- Seriously?
Solution in order not to display the toolbar button while still keeping the toolbar.
It requires creating a MSEdge shortcut.
Make sure you don't have Edge open in order to see the change. Then launch it with that newly created shortcut.

Edge Stable has just been updated and there is now a toggle to hide the "Sidebar" button (Settings>Sidebar):
