Windows 10: How do I get rid of Microsoft offers that pop up when I start my computer

I have never seen this before and I don't want to ever see it again.

I restarted my computer this morning and got an advertisement for Microsoft services that wouldn't close unless I clicked "skip for now".

I didn't want to click that because "for now" doesn't describe my desire. I never want to see it ever again. The screen did not close even when I tried to close it through the task manager or even simply from the alt+tab menu. Sadly I closed it "for now". How do I permanently deactivate this channel that has broadcast an advertisement into my eyeballs?


Thanks for reading & for any answers

Thank you for your reply.

I am still lost but here goes:

• Only known “change” was starting to use Edge browser (which came with new Asus in May) in addition to Firefox. No earlier problem with new or old PC prior to late June.

• New PC came with Kaspersky with which I am uncertain after the contract period.

• Ads appear when opening email messages ( which are genuine) and must be deleted before continuing with the email. Sites are those I have visited for years.

• Below are samples of the ads and where possible their urls

• Only steps taken are to seek help and direct profanity toward whomever sends this trash

Any suggestions welcomed and thank you,

John Shiels
