Appreciate your efforts in sharing us the screenshots, which provided a better clarity, Hans.
Upon checking them, we see that few websites were allowed in Edge to provide notifications. You can right click on the notification from a specific website (in action center, at bottom right corner) & select 'Turn off notifications from this site'. 
Alternately, you can follow the below steps :
Open Edge - Click on Menu (3 dots at top right) - Settings - Cookies & site permission (in left pane) - scroll down in right pane to find 'Notifications' under 'All permissions' - check if the specific site (from which you receive notification) is listed below 'allow'. If listed, click on 3 dots beside it & select remove. 
Please try the above steps & let us know if it helps.

Hi Hans,

We are glad to look into this and help you.
Did you try to run a scan with AVG program and check?
May I know how did you get this Brainychoose-captcha.top either from any of your browsers or from any applications?
Brainychoose-captcha.top is a malicious site that displays fake error messages to trick you into subscribing to its browser notifications.
Thank you and please keep us updated.

Thanks. I have tryed both smart scan and deep scan and didn't find anything. Just now I'm trying a startup scan, but it will take the rest of the day I think.
It seems like a message from Edge, but i can't find any problem in teh settings that allow Brainychoose-captcha.top
