Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
These same possibly-malicious fullscreen McDonald's ads that keep appearing in Chrome, too, so this is not just an Edge problem. I don't even use Edge and came here because I was searching for a solution to this.
Just finished with MS Technical Support chat today, after trying to find issue yesterday as well. The answer I got was that its certain websites generating the ad, even though it only occurs on Edge and no other web browser. It was made clear it's not a MS generated ad, but a website sourced ad.
A recommendation was made to identify the website when it occurs and block those sites in Edge settings.
I just can't believe Microsoft allows this virus to still infect edge. Very disappointing!!
Wyllie,
Yes, one must, actually, sign in to Contact Support. There are 2 methods available... Chat OR leave your phone # for a callback request. Prefer the latter, as often Chat ends up going to the telephone, anyway. Once on the phone, use Quick Assist with the tech.
I can't say or offer more than I have, already, in this thread, as personally, I have no ads or pop-ups, at all with things set as I have for myself and recommended for others.
Cheers,
Drew
Checked your previous advice and sent feedback on the 4-5 occasions it's happened the past two days. Also followed the link you provided previously to MS Support and just followed the instructions they recommended.
Next time though I'll go further and login to Support and see if that would help in narrowing down the issue.
