Ads in Inbox

Today ads started showing up at the top of my Outlook.com Inbox. They look like emails but I can't delete or block them. In the past ads did show up on the right had side and I could live with that but I don't want them at the top of my Inbox.

I want important emails at the top of my inbox not ads. And don't tell me that this is because I have a free account. My google email account is free and it puts all ads where they belong under a Promotions tab where I can ignore them.

How do I correct this?

    I installed uBlock Origin yesterday. Voila! All of these very annoying ads are now gone. I also tested email to make sure this product did not strip too deep by comparing with another system without the module; all good. This prodct uses a different method of stripping **** from the data and seems to work brilliantly!

    You can delete it. But it comes right back. On mine, this usually occurs within a couple of hours. Ultimately, it's permanent if you can't get rid of it for more than a few hours. It's highly aggravating.

    That's a pretty sad commentary on Microsoft. Having unwanted ads show up in an inbox does not sound like a real complicated concept to understand. It may be complicated to fix, but not so much to simply understand.
