Does anyone know how to disable Edge popping up with a failed link www.msftconnecttest.com/redirect on machines blocked by a router?
This happens on the PC running Windows 10 Pro N (winver shows 1709 build 16299.371) that is not allowed to do any internet access.

This seems to be intended as per these links:

- [WayBack] Why does Internet Explorer or Edge popup after a Network change?
TL;DR:
This can happen on Windows 8 and up when Windows thinks there is a partial network connection and a logon to a proxy or captive portal might solve the solution.
Allowing these in the proxy for port 80 solves the issue:
