Windows 10: YouTube Ad always shows up on lock screen - how do I get rid of it? Bug

Running Windows 11 and this stupid ad for YouTube and some show always shows up in the lower right of the lock screen. I can't close it. I can't even play it - not that I want to. But how do I get rid of it and stop it from showing every time??I've gone into settings - can't find anything that makes it go away. What's the solution?

Ads displayed in Lock Screen

Hi Subhadeep,

Windows Spotlight is an option for the lock screen background that displays different background images and occasionally offers suggestions on the lock screen.
To turn off Windows Spotlight, go to Settings, clickPersonalization,
select Lock screen, under Background select a different lock screen background.

To avoid messages on your lock screen, you can consider the following:

• Make sure that the "Get fun facts, etc" on your Settings is turned off.
  
• Disable “suggestions” that appear as notifications. To do so, follow these steps go to
  Settings, then select System, then click
  Notifications & actions and turnoff “Show me the Windows welcome experience after updates and occasionally when I sign in to highlight what’s new and
  suggested”.
• Disable “tips, tricks, and suggestions”. Head to Settings then select
  System, then click Notifications & Actions and disable the “Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows” option.

Don't hesitate to reply on this thread if further assistance is needed.

 

internet explorer - youtube video while locked.

For this scenario, we would further suggest the following:

• Download a third party app from Windows Store, which does play Youtube videos even when the screen is locked.
  
• Send your feedback to Youtube customer support about this particular concern.
• Update to Windows 10 as Lumia 735 is upgradable.

Let us know how it works.

Regards.
