Every time I login to my PC a screen advertising Game Pass appears. How do I stop this?

I bought a new PC recently and have Windows 11 installed. After a recent upgrade force by Microsoft, I now receive a full screen ad for Game Pass every time I log in to my PC. There appears to be no way to decline this product and stop the ad from appearing. I'm nearly 70, have no kids in my house and have no interest (and I mean NO interest) in using Game Pass. Yet I have to decline the offer EVERY time I log in. Microsoft seems to no longer offer phone support to home users, so this community approach may be my only hope for relief. Does anyone know how to stop this Game Pass screen from appearing? Thank you.

    Same deal.

    My work computer with only a work log-in on it presents me with games advertisements.

    This is highly unprofessional by Microsoft

    Try changing the login screen, too. This worked for me and for other users

    yes , very intrusive advertising which is hard to avoid, I would accept it if there was a button on the advert saying "don't show anything like me again" but instead we have to use up time solving yet another IT problem!!

    Thank you for sharing. I have also been deeply troubled and finally could get out of it. With the addiction amongst youngsters going up these days, this default setting is a bit troublesome to me.
