What is markets.books.microsoft
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I feel like none of these replies address what I feel is the central issue : Why is a connection to a store that I want no part of even happening by default?? They want us to use Edge, and do sneaky stuff to bloat the program up with marketing nonsense. Then don't bother to make sure the connections are secure. I felt sorry for them, so I gave it a shot. Charlie Brown at Lucy's football once again.
I have the same question, as I am having the same annoying issue. Every day, sometimes a couple times a day, this URL is blocked on my PC by Netgear ARMOR (Bitdefender on my router). If it is an expired certificate, Microsoft please fix your stuff!
No, since it's the Microsoft Windows Store or Microsoft Edge attempting to communicate with the unsafe, unsupported Microsoft site, Microsoft should fix Microsoft's annoying, huge problem. See the key there? Microsoft. Bitdefender is not in charge of Microsoft's apps or expired certs lol.

Just because edge is attempting to access the url doesn't mean that edge is initiating the command. It may be that a third party app is attempting to access the app and because edge is your default browser, then that's what it uses. It's bitdefenders job to recognise a dead link and suppress warnings from it. MS can't be expected to keep a cert updated to a dead site
Same problem with my AV.
After four or five months of this certificate nonsense and false /positive explanations, here is my take.
Bitdefender is doing its job very well while after all this time, Microsoft is failing miserably. Sure, a short time to fix is okay, but.
In this crazy world of malware, to suggest people should simply exempt certificates is unacceptable after a reasonable amount of time. Some users take their PC security seriously.
I have tried to disable this feature but no success so I am using alternative browsers much, much more.
