They should ditch the pop-ups and instead go ahead and make Edge/Bing the default without permission. There's nothing users can do but complain and accept it.
They are already half way there. File defaults often reset without an obvious reason. It's been happening since 10.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but that's how they got in trouble with Internet Explorer in the EU.
