    Hello ALANDUGDALE,

    I'm Jin, a fellow Windows 10 user and an independent advisor.

    To enable pop-up blocker on Microsoft Edge:

    1. Click the ellipses (...) on the upper-right.
    2. Select Settings.
    3. Click on Site permissions.
    4. Click Pop-ups and redirects.
    5. Beside Block, turn on the toggle.
    6. Additionally, you can manually add the web site't link to the Block list.

    You can also add this extension to your Microsoft Edge to get a more strict Popup Blocker:

    Kind regards.

    The question from last year, and all of those since, has nothing to do with malware, other than the malware that is intentionally created by and pushed out from Microsoft. Most of us know how to avoid pop-up ads.

    If there is a way to stop the Microsoft popups (giant ugly black box covering nearly half of a laptop screen with stuff I do not want to see), then tell us. Ideally, just STOP the pop-up. Thanks.

    1. There aren't any ellipses.
    2. Popups are blocked.
    3. I think Microsoft is doing the popups...

    What now?

    It is Microsoft doing the popup and it is irritating as hell. Please drop the pushed content, Microsoft. It is NOT a favor nor desired by ANYONE.

    i cannot view my emails, etc. because of pop up ads one after the other. i do not want any ads showing on my screen pop ups or other. if this doesn't stop i will sent this information to the attorney general's office. not joking. i am sick of this ****. who gave you permission to invade my pc with these ads. FYI - THESE ADS COME UNDER THE HEADING OF SOLITICATION WHICH IS ILLEGAL IN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
