When you try to start the Microsoft Edge browser, bang sometimes opens a dialog in the top right corner of the browser informing you that you have opened Edge in administrator mode. The full message is as follows:
" Administrator mode detected

At this point you can only see a blank page. When you look at the message, the first thing to remember is that there is a problem with Edge and of course you are worried. However, there is no need to worry as this is a security feature in Microsoft Edge. This feature prompts the user to restart the browser without administrator rights, since using the browser in administrator mode can lead to malfunctions and is prone to risks.
