Microsoft suggests there is a problem with your web browser - there isn't one!

 I was recently playing with the settings on my Windows 10 laptop when I noticed something which initially seemed abnormal. Under Web Browsing, right when I opened Settings, my Windows said: Restore recommended.

Normally, when you see a message like that, you start worrying. You will ask yourself questions such as: What is wrong with my browser, did it get corrupted, am I being attacked by malware? Fortunately, it's none of these. Microsoft is just trying to push its browser and search engine to more and more people, especially since the new Chromium engine update of the browser.

If you choose to click the attention-seeking icon, Windows will prompt you to Restore Microsoft Edge and Bing as default due to privacy purposes. However, there shouldn't be any privacy issues if you are using a renowned browser like Opera or Chrome (although some may argue that Chrome and Google don't have the best privacy, they actually do if you take the time to arrange settings).

In conclusion, I advise you to continue using your preferred browser regardless of the warnings or messages that Microsoft (Windows) may give you. If your browser is working fine, then you probably used it to save many of your favourite bookmarks, passwords and so on. In such case, it would be a hassle to move to Edge at this point just based on the recommendation of default. However, you should consider Edge if you are having issues with battery life or performance as Edge seems to be very well tuned in its latest form.
