Microsoft has a new way to ‘warn’ Windows 11 users accessing Chrome

Google Chrome users have reported that Microsoft is showing malware-type pop-ups on Windows 11 for users who don’t use Edge to browse the internet. These pop-ups are reportedly asking users to switch their default search engine to Microsoft Bing in Chrome. According to a report by The Verge, these pop-ups are not normal notifications as they don’t appear in the notification center in Windows 11. These notifications aren’t also connected to the part of Windows 11 that suggests new features for users. The report notes that an executable file has appeared in c:\windows\temp\mubstemp and is digitally signed by Microsoft.
