Windows 10: How do I stop Microsoft from hijacking my computer with 5 minutes of pop-up ads?

Every few weeks Microsoft Win11 hijacks my laptop with unskippable full screen ads, makes me re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-answer every question about: do I want to pay for 365, do I want to pay for storage, do I want to hose all of my settings and replace it with whatever random horsesh*t MS wants to replace all of my settings with, default browser and bing garbage and other broken services.I should note: this isn't a new laptop.

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.
