Windows 10: What's up with all the pop-up ads?

I am trying to play some of your games and those ads keep appearing. It is annoying to have to cancel them just to get to the games. I am not interested in upgrading just to pay more for what already comes free. Can they be removed?

how do i stop pop up ads

Usually a good ad blocker should prevent scam pop ups and/or ads in your browser.

Personally I use Firefox browser and the free ad blocker uBlock Origin as well as Ghostery.
