Answer 1

If Windows is automatically opening commands or a web page in Microsoft Edge, it could be due to a few reasons:

1. Network Connectivity Status Indicator (NCSI): Windows uses NCSI to determine network connectivity. If it detects that the network requires authentication or is not providing internet access, it may open a browser window to a specific page (like the MSN Portal) to prompt for credentials. This behavior is intended to improve user experience when connecting to networks that require sign-in.
2. Proxy Server Configuration: If your network is using a proxy server, it may also cause Windows to open a browser window. To prevent this, you might need to configure your network firewall to allow access to certain URLs related to NCSI.
3. Malware or Unwanted Software: Sometimes, unwanted software or malware can cause browsers to open unexpectedly. Running a full system scan with an updated antivirus program can help identify and remove any malicious software.

To stop the automatic opening of commands or web pages, you can try the following:

• Check your network settings and ensure that any required credentials are entered correctly.
• Review your firewall settings to ensure that the necessary URLs for NCSI are allowed.
• Perform a malware scan to ensure your system is clean.

If the issue persists, you may want to look into more specific settings or configurations related to your network and system behavior.
