| 1459859 | 2019-04-11 02:45:00 | Re read post #2, You actually gave the location in your original post This is coming from the notifications box. You will have gone to some site that has the same subject as the pop-up. Simply run Ccleaner or disk cleanup, then follow instructions in #2. Seen this happen quite a few times, with all sorts of sites throwing in advertising, from shopping channels to Porn and everything in between. Thank you Wainui. Unfortunately I do not have that little box in the bottom right corner. I have run Ccleaner. I'll see how that goes. |

It will be there still working, its the only place "pop-ups" from bottom right can come from. Have a read of the following fix-action-center-notifications-not-working-windows-10-1809/ (pureinfotech.com) You can also simply disable the notifications as well (same place) as well as previous Settings to disable. |

Thank you Wainui. Unfortunately that link was for W10 users. I'm running W8. But I suspect it does not matter. I ran Ccleaner as you advised and I have not seen any popups since then. That was a few hours ago so it does seem that that has done the trick. Thanks very much for your help. |

| 1459862 | 2019-04-11 08:06:00 | In Chrome/Settings/Advanced/scroll down to System, turn "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" off by moving slider to the left position. N.B. this needs to be done in Edge as well, the latest version is a truncated version of Chromium which has the same problem so I have read. |

Okayyyyyyyyyy That little bit of info would have been better given at the beginning ;) Theres several OS's being used from W7 to W10, and they are all different in one way or another. I personally reccommend running Ccleaner after finishing each day (or at least every couple of days) it only takes a few seconds and saves a truck load of weird and unwanted problems from temp internet files. :) |
