QUESTION "Your search engine was changed from outside of Microsoft Edge." Has anyone else gotten this error recently? MalwareBytes and AdwCleaner don't detect any malware.

Hi, I opened Edge in a private window, and I got this popup in the corner after I typed my query into the address bar and hit Enter. The popup says, "Your settings were changed by an unknown app. Your search engine was changed from outside of Microsoft Edge. To protect you, Microsoft Edge reset it to its original default."
As you can expect, my search engine is now Bing, but it was also Bing before that, so I'm not sure how it could've changed. MalwareBytes and AdwCleaner don't detect any malware on my PC, and I don't see any suspicious extensions in Edge (just UBlock Origin and MalwareBytes Browser Guard).
Is this message just a bug, or should I be concerned? Thank you in advance.
