Windows 10: How to Hide or Show Extension Icons on Microsoft Edge Toolbar

You can add extensions to Microsoft Edge from the Microsoft Edge Add-ons Store by default whenever you want. If you like, you can also allow to add extensions to Microsoft Edge from other sources like the Chrome Web Store.

If needed, you can turn on or off added extensions as needed in Microsoft Edge without needing to remove (uninstall) the extension. For example, when an extension is causing an issue for a site, and needs to be temporarily turned off until finished with the site. When you turn on an installed extension, the extension's icon will be added to the toolbar next to the address bar. When you turn off an installed extension, the extension's icon will be removed from the toolbar next to the address bar.

If you like, you can also hide extension icons on the Microsoft Edge toolbar without needing to turn off or uninstall the extension. When you hide an extension's icon from the toolbar, the icon is moved to the top of the Settings and more (Alt+F) (3 dots) menu to access instead.

This tutorial will show you how to hide and show extension icons on the toolbar of the Chromium based Microsoft Edge in Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10.

Cannot install extensions in Edge

Hi,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with installing Extension in Microsoft Edge. I will certainly help you with the issue.

I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and check if that helps:

• 
  Launch your Edge browser and click on the 3-dotted
  More link. You will see an Extensions item.
  
• 
  Click on Extensions to open the following panel. Here you will see a
  Get extensions from the Store link.
  
• 
  Currently, extensions like Amazon Assistant, Evernote Web Clipper, LastPass, Mouse Gestures, Office Online, OneNote Web Clipper, Page Analyzer, Pinterest Pin It Button, Reddit Enhancement
  Suite, Save to Pocket, Translate for Microsoft Edge, etc., are available for Edge.
  
• 
  Clicking on one of them will open the Windows Store page which offers this extension.
  
• 
  Click on the
  Free button to install it.
  
• 
  To enable the extension, click on
  Turn it on. If you do not want to enable it, click on Keep it off. Once you do this, you will see this entry in the list of extensions installed. Here you see only one as I have installed only one extension.
  
• 
  Once the Edge extension is enabled, you will see it added to your panel. Right-clicking on it will offer you two options:
  

• 
  Show next to address bar
  
• 
  Manage.
  
  
  

• 
  You can toggle the switch to On/Off position – for the Pin It button as well as for showing it next to the address bar.
  
• 
  You will also see buttons that show you more
  Options and one that lets you Uninstall the Edge extension.
  
• 
  Clicking on
  Options will show additional settings offered for that plugin in a new browser tab that will open automatically.
  
• 
  Clicking on
  Uninstall will uninstall the Edge extension.
  
• 
  The settings and options available for each extension, will of course differ.
  

Hope this information helps.
