something installed on your computer could be opening this web page constantly.
keep your extensions disabled for a while too.
this is obviously not the default behavior of Edge so something is going on in your system.
scan your computer with Windows Security's full scan.I happened to have my taskbar unhidden via mouseover when the odd window popped up again; apparently it's popping up as an actual, entire and separate browser window. Though, whereas the Actual browser's window is near the top of my taskbar, the odd popup one appears at the bottom of the taskbar every time it shows up. Also, no. I hadn't installed anything for quite a while before, using the microsoft site even, I downloaded the current Edge with chromium and installed it.

that's a site that hosts cracked software so it's not usual for that to open on people's websites.
you can scan your computer with full scan, if it's bothering you too much, go to Windows settings => update & security => Recovery => Reset This PC
