    annoying desktop pop ups

    Hi Sheena,

    Pop ups can be distracting for some, and depending on your reference, you can disable the desktop pop ups by following these steps:

    • Click Start or the Windows logo and go to Settings (gear icon).
    • Go to System and choose Notification & actions.
    • Under Notifications, turn off Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows or whatever you want to turn off.
    • Close the window and it will automatically save the changes.

    If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

    A random window is popping up

    Hi,

    There are several factors that may cause this issue. To narrow down the concern, we'd like to ask additional information.

    • What changes have you made prior to the issue?
    • What activities are you doing when the random window popping up?
    • Would it be possible to send us a screenshot?
    • Did the issue persist in safe mode?

    For now, we suggest that you scan your computer using antivirus software to check for possible malware infection.
