Windows 10: unwanted adds

When I am playing Microsoft Solitaire Collection in between games annoying adds appear and I can't seem to stop them Grrrr. A box pops up saying( to stop adds upgrade to Premium collection ) I don't want this so how do I stop them.


I have turned off Background apps on settings and it does seem to stop them for a while , do I need to do something else .

I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.

Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.

Step 2:
I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

3. Select add someone else on this PC.
4. Enter a user name and hit next.
5. Click on Finish.

Step 3:
It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
