I keep getting these pop ups that come from Microsoft and are a nuisance. They pop up before I open Chrome and often stop Chrome from opening. When this happens I have to open Task Manager and end Google Crash Handler as well as Google Chrome on Task Manager.
Does anyone know how I can permanently stop these?

Pop ups from Microsoft - Are you sure? What do they say?
|
|
they sound like windows error messages, and it seems likely they come from an issue with chrome. Delete chrome from your system and reinstall.
|
They are not error messages and they appear without a browser running and just getting emails. They also appear on E. Some are in Russian. I even get some from Netflix.
I'll do a search on Google and see if I can solve the problem

I'm guessing it's some kind of Adware trying to redirect you. Don't forget, getting emails is still an internet connection, just without a browser.

After a lengthy search I have cracked it.
Go to settings - Notifications - Turn off bottom three items.

I thought it might be that but clearly there are others here with more IT knowledge.
Notifications are a bit of a menace. I'm OK getting them from Facebook and its professional counterpart Workplace. Not wanted from most other sources but a 'pop up' that says 'Allow Notifications Yes/No' seems to come up on more and more sites.
Some months ago, on my work PC I accessed site of a local newspaper in Shetland. Can't remember if there was something work related; may have been in innovative way of delivering foodbank services in v rural area OTOH maybe something around my personal love for remote bits of Scotland.
Whichever, I foolishly allowed notifications. For a week or two I knew more about disruptions to Shetland ferry than I thought possible....
