A new update has brought back Microsoft’s recommendation for Bing and Chromium Edge on Windows 10. After Microsoft Edge 91, Windows 10 has now started displaying a pop-up message that appears through Windows 10’s built-in notification center.

The nag prompt enthusiastically addresses users on the benefits of using “Microsoft Bing” as the default search engine. And as you might guess, this prompt is being delivered only when Microsoft Edge is not the default browser or you’ve moved away from Bing to another search engine manually.

Some folks are reporting online that they are seeing the Bing prompt out of the blue recently, and it’s happened to us over the weekend.

Microsoft is apparently pushing two different Bing advertisements. One ad is promoting the newsfeed (MSN) of the Bing homepage and secure/private results feature. The second ad states that users can save money online if they switch to Bing in selected countries where the Microsoft Rewards feature is available.

Some users could potentially be confused by notification and think that their PC has just had an update applied. However, it appears that this nag prompt is linked to Microsoft Edge’s browser recommended settings alert, one that has been delivered after Edge version 91.
