Windows 10: Windows 10 Desktop Popup Ads

Hello Everyone - A few times recently I've been getting Xbox popups on my Windows 10 Home desktop: I'm not sure why as I have all notifications disabled to the best of my knowledge. Is there a way I can get rid of these? Thanks for any help.

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
