I received the popup this morning when I open the web-browser (Edge) with an overlay stating to contact Microsoft Technical Support for immediate help.    To call  855-203-6625 to resolve.  Is there a problem with my registry and if so how do I fix or remove this from my computer.

Any assistance provide will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Webroot_novice
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
This sounds like a SCAM and do not call that number. Sounds like a nasty PUA
 
But I have done some research and I am not finding much information about this specific error code.
 
My best advice would be to Submit a Support Ticket which is free of charge with an active Webroot subscription. They will gladly check this out for you.
 
 
Hope this helps?
Ssherjj,
 
 Thank you for your recommendation.  I submitted the issue to technical support and it was resolved.   Tech Support provided a
a script to remove the annoying popup as well as insight into the issue.  They are great!.
 
Thank You,
