When it's fixed my Bitdefender will quit blocking it. Apparently it's a useless Microsoft file that is not needed or my computer would malfunction with it blocked. If your getting pop-ups, maybe get an anti-virus software like Bitdefender that works in the background without all of the annoying pop-ups.

MicrosoftEdge.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to markets.books.microsoft.com. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since web pages must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated security certificates represent a risk.

2020-04-06T19:30:48+00:00 It April now and I am getting the same message. Funny thing is I cant uninstall the edge browser which I never use but some how it pops up all the time regardless. I hate that Microsoft gets away with all this nefarious ****. Why should I not be able to uninstall their browser to begin with its the only browser that has this problem. If it was Firefox or google i could just uninstall the browser but because it Microsoft I cant?
