Ads keep popping up at loer right screen

For a few months now different ads pop up at random intervals at the lower
right side of the screen, accompanied by a "ding" sound. At first I just
clicked on the right pointing arrow in the ad and it would go away. It is
slowly becoming a nuisance and I have no idea when to turn that off. Any
suggestions ?? I use Windows 10.

TIA, Hagar

"Tips, tricks, and suggestions"

Using the Search box in the Settings wheel, you can
try terms like that to find the page with the sliders.

I think these adverts count as "tricks" or "dirty tricks".
Maybe that word will find it.

You're supposed to spend 20 minutes setting all the sliders
in Settings to OFF.

Use SysInternals' Process Explorer (PE) to find out which process owns
the window. Load PE when the popup occurs (hopefully it doesn't
disappear quickly or waits for input from you). Drag the sniper scope
icon from PE's toolbar to drop on the window. PE will highlight the
process that owns that window.
