How to Disable
Windows 10 users are complaining about getting repeated pop-ups ads
with recommendations for switching the default browser and search the engine on their machines. Windows 10 users report annoying pop-ups account. These pop-up are basically advertising Microsoft's own Chromium Edge browser and Bing search engine. The pop-ups are showing up on a Windows 10 system using its built-in notification center. They serve as ads for the Bing search engine and detail all the benefits of switching to it. For all those getting these pop-ups, there's fortunately, a quick workaround to disable them.
Users on Reddit have started
complaining about this new prompt showing up on their Windows 10 systems
sporadically. These notifications recommend Bing to be the default search
engine and Edge to be the default browser. They show up only if these two
aren't already set as default apps on a computer. WindowsLatest reports two
kinds of ads that are apparently showing up as pop-ups for the Bing search
engine. One ad is promoting the MSN newsfeed of the Bing homepage and its
secure results feature. The other ad tells users that if they switch to Bing,
they can save money online by using the Microsoft Rewards feature available in
select countries.

notifications can either be dismissed by clicking on the ‘Maybe Later' option
or by clicking on the ‘Change Settings' button to change their default browser
to Edge and change their search engine to Bing. Users who want to continue
using their existing browser app and the search engine will need to follow a few
easy steps to stop the notifications on their Windows 10 systems. As also
explained by a Reddit user, you can simply paste this in your URL bar
‘edge://flags/#edge-show-feature-recommendations' and disable “Show feature and
workflow recommendations” to stop the bothersome notifications.
