  3. How do I get rid of "Trending in the NBA" from my lock screen

    Most replies are about the windows start app. That was NOT my problem. This is what removed the lock screen popup altogether... First, disable Tips/suggestions on the Lock screen, an option in Windows.

    • Go to Settings > Personalisation > Lock Screen.
    • Uncheck “Get fun facts, tips, tricks and more on your Lock screen.
