    Greetings!

    This is Tin, please open MS Edge, then click 3 dots on the upper right corner, select Settings then Appearance, look for Copilot and Sidebar, please make sure thatn Always show sidebar is turned on. Then under App and notification, please enable Discover or Search.

    After that, relaunch MS Edge and it should get back.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Thanks,

    Tin

    In Microsoft Edge on Windows 11, if the Copilot/Edge sidebar is missing after an update, restore it by resetting Edge’s settings:

    1. In the Edge address bar, enter: 
         edge://settings/reset
      and press Enter.
    2. Select Restore settings to their default values.
    3. Confirm the reset.

    Caution: This reset restores the startup page, new tab page, search engine, and pinned tabs to their defaults, disables all extensions, and clears temporary data such as cookies. Favorites, history, and saved passwords are not affected.

    After the reset, restart Edge and check whether the sidebar has reappeared.
