Unsolved MS Edge and pop-ups
-
I don't use Edge... and for many good reasons. Even with it being build off of Chromium / Chrome.
I've used it mainly as a MS / Azure / O365 Admin since I had to have user and Admin level sessions going over using incognito mode in Chrome.
User is having a site issue that it doesn't work in Chrome but works in Edge - but they are getting Pop-ups in Edge even with the Pop-Up blocker enabled under settings.
I've cycled through a few things but haven't gotten to the cache / reset as they are sloow to respond.
What else could I have them try - because else it's Edge and I haven't much of a care....

I use the same popup blocker in every web browser, even Edge, and it blocks everything. I've not come across any weird issues like that otherwise.
Have you tried this one?

Perhaps my situation is odd - but why is this a real issue in a company? People not working and just surfing random stuff - and IT has to fix their pop-up issue for that?
Much to my surprise - this hasn't been an issue for us, I've never even had a "hay, just asking cause, ya know - I get these popups.. how do I stop that?" which IS odd now that I think about it....

Time for a full reset of the browser. They clicked on a search result or something else that pulled in an extension that is probably hidden.
Elevated PowerShell:
CD C:\Users\%username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose} -
This isn’t random searching- this is using valid, confirm, approved business site that we sell to or the travel site we use for marketing and conference travels.

@gjacobse Sorry I wasn't clear. At some point the user was looking for something and clicked on a link in the results that then inserted something into Edge that causes the pop-ups.
We've seen it often enough that we've added search training to our Train the Human regimen.

That - I can see.
