How do I stop pop ups on the desktop on Windows 10?
These are not pop up ads that happen on a web site.
They happen on my desktop as little pop ups in the lower right corner of my computer screen.
They look like this video I recorded here:

Hi, you didn’t attach a video, or link to one.

They’re notifications, if it’s the same as mine. When you click on the little square box in the bottom right corner, a larger box will open and there will be “Manage Notifications” at the top. Click on that, and you can choose which notifications you get, or turn them off altogether.

I had the same issue on Windows 10, and in my case it was coming from app notifications.

Go to Settings → System → Notifications & actions, and turn off notifications for apps you don’t trust or don’t need. Also check your browser notification settings, because sites can send desktop notifications even when the browser is closed.

Disabling those fixed it for me, and the pop-ups stopped completely.
