Hi,
My anti virus software threw up the following:
Suspicious connection blocked
15 hours ago
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keep your data safe since web pages must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated security certificates represent a risk.

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.
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.
It's now mid April and they haven't fixed it as my Bit Defender just blocked it.
Download the new microsoft Edge browser and that will solve the problem.
Frankly, thats a rubbish answer. Nobody from Microsoft ever gave a coherent answer to this question. Then, suddenly, its “If you use our shiny new browser, it wont do that anymore. That’s not customer service. We just need a little honesty.
Thanks for the reply.
As of yesterday my bitdefender has stopped working altogether. I'll uninstall and reinstall, maybe that will help. I have a tracker that's causing all sorts of mayhem. Seems to be the same person as a few months ago, when I had to buy a new computer. Checking it out it looks like someone bought a license to access my network. I can see that every few days my network is disabled and another one is enabled. A few days later it switches again. I followed winding paths and found a Chinese/Tiwanese company, Quora.com who sell these short term licenses. If that's the issue I don't think anyone can do anything about it.
And it all starts with Edge establishing connection through markets.books.microsoft.com.

I am using the new microsoft Edge browser and do not receive that message anymore. Been using it for a while now. It is much better then the old browser and faster.
Oops, sorry about that.
