    No real solution found but to clear up the community questions:

    I made Bing my default search engine.

    I turned off all notification settings that i could find in the settings menu in edge.

    There will propably still be more popups, But so far i have not seen new messageboxes pop up.

yes that is the use recommended settings box, I checked the flags page but could not find the "edge-show-feature-recommendations" or "Show feature and workflow recommendations".

I start the browser by using the navigate action in a keyword test. as for settings I just went to the normal settings menu and tured off all the notification settings and pop ups.

Has the flag been renamed or removed? I am using edge version 125.0.2535.51

I also have Microsoft Edge v125.0.2535.51. The message will only appear if I have Chrome set as my default browser. 

See if this helps, Change your default browser in Windows

Flags are always changing, so it may or may not appear.

    Edge is my default browser, Edge want me to use Bing as the standard search engine.

    This messagebox still appeared, Chrome isn't even installed on that PC.

     

    Can you still find the Flag or has it been removed for you too?

      I can not see the flag setting edge-show-feature-recommendations

      Why not just set Bing as the default web search?

        Because no one likes bing :P. but since it is just for my PC that runs the tests I'll try that and hope no other messages pop up.

        Thanks for the help!
