I cant get rid of pop ups in edge despite having the blocker turned on

Question

I have my settings set correctly to block redirects and pop ups. However, Edge CONTINUALLY opens new, unwanted tabs. Its driving me nuts. Any suggestions on how to fix? I've read all the answers thus far, which I have followed. No luck. Yes, Edge is up to date.

Hi @Ppresident ,

Does the issue occur on a specific website? Or does the issue happen with other websites?

If so, are the pop-ups the same in different websites? You could also provide a screenshot of the issue.

Have you tried these methods in this blog: Block pop-ups in Microsoft Edge to block pop-ups?

If the above doesn't work, I recommend you try this Group Policy to block pop-ups.

Here is how: Configure Microsoft Edge policy settings on Windows
