    Hi, let me help you.

    You can try to hit on ALT F4 on your keyboard to close all the prompts on your screen.

    Or hit CTRL+ALT+DEL to open Task Manager and close all the open browsers.

    This is typically a tech support scam pop-up, not a real Windows or Microsoft security block.

    Use these steps to close it safely:

    1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
    2. Find the browser that showed the message, such as Microsoft Edge.
    3. Select it and choose End task.
    4. Reopen the browser.
    5. If prompted to Restore tabs or Restore previously open pages, choose No so the scam page does not reopen.
    6. Clear the browser cache.
    7. Run a scan with Windows Security for reassurance.

    Important:

    • Do not call any phone number shown in the pop-up.
    • Microsoft does not display security warnings that tell users to call a phone number.
    • If the browser is frozen, ending the task is the recommended way to close the fake alert.
    • If needed, a force restart can also clear the stuck page.

    If any personal, financial, or remote-access information was shared with the caller, treat it as a scam incident and secure affected accounts immediately.
