Quick Tip: Before proceeding with the tutorial, we would like to showcase yet another Chromium-based web browser that can do the exact same thing as Edge, and a lot more. Opera is the name of the browser, and it boasts the speed, reliability, extensive customization features, and a library of extensions that rivals even that of Chrome. As far as the aforementioned customization features, Opera allows you to rearrange UI elements in whatever way you want, including the ability to auto-hide the address bar.

Why does my address bar keep disappearing?

The address bar keeps disappearing if you inadvertently switch to full-screen mode. This can happen if you hit the dedicated keyboard shortcut. Check the next section to find out which key it is and make sure you are not pressing it. Also, if the browser is not properly installed or your computer is infected with malware, the toolbar may hide in Edge along with the other components. In this case, it’s best that you reinstall the browser and check your system for malware using an effective third-party antivirus.

How can I auto-hide the address bar in Edge?

1. Go full-screen using the Edge menu

This is a simple way to auto hide the address bar in Edge, but remember that it would also hide the Taskbar when running the browser.

2. Use the keyboard shortcut

If manually selecting the full-screen mode from Edge’s Menu feels much trouble, there’s a keyboard shortcut to auto-hide the address bar in Edge. Navigate to the page where you want to hide the address bar and press F11 or Fn + F11, depending on whether the function key is locked. Also, full-screen mode helps hide the Toolbar as well in Edge.

3. Modify the Group Policy Settings

While the GPO doesn’t exactly hide the address bar in Microsoft Edge, it would fix things if you were unable to do that earlier. If the policy is disabled, users cannot switch to the full-screen mode in Edge. That’s it! You now know all the ways to hide the address bar in Edge and can work on things with more focus and concentration without being distracted. Also, see how to hide the address bar in Chrome. Do not hesitate to drop your thoughts on Edge missing a dedicated option to hide the address bar.
