What to do

  1. Update Microsoft Edge to version 156 or later to get this protection.
  2. Review blocked sites in Edge Settings and restore any notifications you believe were blocked in error.
  3. Disable notifications from any website that shows unexpected security alerts via the menu on the notification.
  4. Do not click Allow on notification prompts that claim you must confirm you are not a robot.
