Everytime I make a new profile, there is a extenstion installed by default
You may have seen these banners in Msn.com about recommending you switch to the new edge or get the Bing wallpaper app.
One of these was this enhance your browsing experience app. It basically installed the Bing wallpaper app with the same install process but it installed Microsoft Rewards Extension into the browser.
Now, every time I make a new profile in edge, I get a "!" in my menu that there is a new extension installed, do I allow it or disable it.
Thank you

You can stop that prompt once and for all by going to that registry and deleting that entry
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Edge\Extensions
the extension ID is: nlbmdekgjkajiobkcbpolefohlelfhfe
- Hi,
Bing wallpaper app never installs on its own, user does it. need to download the .exe, run it.
it can be the one suggesting to install that extension whenever a new profile is created, which can be fine since making a new profile is not done often and there is an option to disable the extension if you want to.
so if you don't want to see it then remove the app you installed, and if you're okay with this prompt you don't have to do anything.- Sorry for the confusion, what I mean is that tone day I saw a banner recommending me to install that enhance program. I installed it and now everytime I make new profile, it asks me that and I dont' want that program anymore and I can't find how to uninstall it.
Bing wallpaper app is the some install process in the app installer.
This was adervertised on MSN

Bing wallpaper app is not the only app that does this, there are many 3rd party programs that offer their extensions to be installed on Edge, one of the many categories of those apps are download managers.- Well, this program was installed from msn.com and it wasn't the Bing wallpaper app. It was a enhance to Edge.
It installed Extenstions and I can't find this program. I dont' like that this was advertised by Microsoft on MSN.com and I can't seem to find any trace. Since I reseted edge and deleted the profile, I have no access to the download link but I already send feedback to the Edge team about it and nothing- You can go to Windows settings => apps, sort by install date
you can do the same in control panel
if you can check your web history and share the link to that program with me so i can install it in Windows sandbox and see what it exactly does
