markets.books.microsoft

Probably resolved now. Microsoft have a new Edge browser released on the 16th. It is Chromium Edge and can download from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge. Since I installed on 16th no more issue with markets.book.microsoft. So far.

It IS safe to do so! I ran a scan with Bitdefender after allowing the exception, and no malware was found. Lots of certificates from legitimate websites and links are not updated sometimes. You just  have to research a bit. Microsoft uses that certificate, but apparently haven't updated it. It's used for their apps and programs. I found a Microsoft webpage that explained what that certificate was used for. Only when I allowed that certificate the exception, did my emails in Outlook 365 started coming in. I was frustrated for a week trying to figure out why my emails weren't coming in through 365! That's exactly when the certificate error started showing!. I tried EVERY process I could find to fix Outlook! Apparently, Outlook 365 uses that certificate. 

Outlook runs fantastically now, and there's no ill effects on my system. It's your call. 

I don't think the issues is about a certificate being expired or whether bitdefender thinks it malicious or not.  The issue is WHY does MS Edge keep trying to access the site in the first place when I don't care about that site or have any reason to connect to it.  So for me the question is "How do I stop Edge from trying to access markets.books.microsoft.com

Hi Guys, is there nay solution to permanently stop access to this expired certificate? I get these blocked notifications daily. I am not very computer literate so the simpler the better or a step by step guide for dummies would be good.

Thanks

Indeed, I have found the same note that Microsoft announces that Books are no longer supported..

Why is Edge still trying to access this site?

With Bitdefender I have avoided many such suspicious pages. Believe me, if defender states its unsafe, take it seriously and take great care. great care. Tom (Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. James. I. 19).
