Windows 10: Hello! About 3 weeks ago, I started getting these random pop up ads for various Merge...

Hello-About 3 weeks ago, I started getting these random pop up interruptions by ads for various Merge games. These ads are disrupting appointments with my patients, as well as popping up very inconveniently when I am trying to do some work or other important task. IOn several occasions, in the middle of an urgent call, one of these has taken over my screen and I can't complete a call or text message. I'm not able to get rid of the ad until I sit there and watch it to get to the delete x. I can't seem to get them to stop. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I make it stop?? Thanks for yo

:)

 

Corel pop-up ads

Hello all, I have Corel PhotoPaint 17 and the CorelDRAW Home & Student 17 suite. I'm getting pop-up ads about every other time I exit from any of them. It's really annoying. I've tried the three main methods that I've found to stop the ads. 1. Checking the "do not show again" box on the ad itself 2. Going into message preferences and unchecking those options There's a dropdown menu that should be there but I don't have 3. Going into Task Scheduler and disabling any Corel tasks I don't have any Corel items listed there Over a series of five emails, Corel tech support gave me the same suggestions and when I told them that none of them worked, they blamed Windows 10 and said that my Corel product versions were no longer supported anyway. It was too long ago to remember exactly what I did but I must have been able to use these methods on 8.1 because I got the ads then and did something to stop them. They never came back so whatever I did worked. So, I'm looking for some less conventional options to stop the ads. I'm totally open to suggestions. Thank you.
