Copilot in Windows provides centralized generative AI assistance to your users right from the Windows desktop. Copilot in Windows appears as a side bar docked on the Windows desktop. It's designed to be an assistant that can help your users get things done in Windows. Copilot in Windows is a bit different from [Bing Chat in the Microsoft Edge sidebar](https://www.microsoft.com/edge/features/bing-chat), which provides assistance in the browser, since it can also perform actions such as changing Windows settings or performing common tasks in Windows. However, both user experiences, Copilot in Windows and Bing Chat in the Microsoft Edge sidebar, can share the same underlying chat provider platform. It's important for organizations to properly configure the chat provider platform that Copilot in Windows uses, since users can possibly pass sensitive information into the chat provider.

**Bing SafeSearch settings**:
If [SafeSearch](https://support.microsoft.com/topic/946059ed-992b-46a0-944a-28e8fb8f1814) is enabled for Bing, it will block chat providers for Copilot in Windows. The following network changes will block the chat providers for Copilot in Windows, [Bing Chat Enterprise in the Edge sidebar](/bing-chat-enterprise/edge), and [Bing Chat in the Microsoft Edge sidebar](https://www.microsoft.com/edge/features/bing-chat):
- mapping `www.bing.com` to `strict.bing.com`
- mapping `edgeservices.bing.com` to `strict.bing.com`
- mapping `www.bing.com` to `nochat.bing.com`
- blocking `bing.com`
**Microsoft Edge policies**:
- If [HubsSidebarEnabled](/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#hubssidebarenabled) is set to `disabled`, it will block Bing Chat in the Microsoft Edge sidebar and Bing Chat Enterprise in the Microsoft Edge sidebar from being displayed.
- If [DiscoverPageContextEnabled](/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#discoverpagecontextenabled) is set to `disabled`, it will block Bing Chat and Bing Chat Enterprise from reading the current webpage context. The chat providers need to read the current webpage context to provide page summarizations and for sending a string the user selects from the webpage into the chat provider.

- Setting [ConfigureSearchOnTaskbarMode](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-csp-search#configuresearchontaskbarmode) to `Hide` might interfere with the Copilot in Windows user experience.
