  3. How to disable fake surveys offerring "discounted" offers as prizes

    Subject: RE: Question has reply: how to disable fake surveys offering "discounted" offers as prizes

    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

    admin settings on Win10 for PC

    Hi Hamza,

    Is your PC connected to a domain network?

    If your are connected to a domain network and yet facing this issue, I would suggest you to try the following steps and check:

    Method1:

    First, I would suggest you to try switching your User account from a Microsoft account to a local account and check if the issue persists. Click on 'Settings', click on 'Accounts' and then click on "sign in with a local account' in the "your accounts' section.
    Restart the computer and switch back to a Microsoft account and check.

    If the issue persists, try these steps and check:

    • Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
    • Click File > Run New Task
    • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
    • Type Powershell
    • Type the following in the Powershell prompt:

      $manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest
    • Close the Powershell window
    • Reboot

    Try these and let us know the results.
