Hi, would you mind attaching a screenshot of that you're referring to? Thanks
I'm referring to the page info icon in the omnibox

Okay so based on what you say, If all of the websites are shown as insecure, the first logical thing that comes to mind is that the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities are probably missing/deleted.

Though it could also be a 3rd party extension or Flags. so you could try resetting all the flags to their default values and temporary disabling any 3rd party extension.

 

 

 

@pneenkoalabear I'm getting a similar behavior from Google Chrome, so I assume it's not specific to Edge, but to Chromium itself.

Which version are you using? I can't seem to produce the issue on any of my machines

@HotCakeX I'm using Chrome 77.0.3865.120. I don't have the dev Edge on that machine to confirm the Edge behavior, but I can confirm that it's happening to Chrome. It does not happen to all pages nor all the time, but I saw it happen a couple of time... I see that "exclamation warning message" when starting to load a page (maybe for 1 or 2 seconds) and it goes away when the page loads.

Strange, I wonder what you two have in common to see the same error randomly, maybe an extension?
I don't know what "Windows 10 accounts" extension is but it seems like you can't disable it.

can you paste this into your address bar: chrome:policy and then show me which policies are enabled for your browser? thanks

Thank you,
Windows 10 accounts extension is installed by your organization,

"The extension works with Azure Active Directory services right now, e.g. Office 365, Exchange Online or OneDrive for Business, and provides Chrome users on Windows 10 with options to sign in to resources automatically when they use Chrome and are signed in to a Microsoft Account on Windows 10."

maybe it is malfunctioning somehow

I don't have that extension. It's defs an issue on Chromium's side as @cbomtempo said

I know! An update set #enable-mark-http-as in the flags to Enabled (mark with a grey triangle icon) from Disabled.

 

I don't think it should have a grey triangle or be actively dangerous. I think an 'i' in an outlined circle is sufficient. FYI setting it to Enabled, Default and Disabled all set it to Enabled (mark with a Not Secure warning and dangerous on form edits). I still set it to disabled to tell Microsoft and Google (I also use Chrome). I support making HTTPS less prominent though.

And there is no Clear instruction as to how to reproduce it?

Do you still see your problem after disabling that flag? how about setting it to default?
