I got an Edge Ad on my Windows 10 Lock Screen

Is there any way to disable this?

The box in the center of the screen, overlaying the picture, said that I should try the “New Edge”.

I don’t want my OS pushing it’s browser on me.

So typical of Microsoft. All this behavior does is make me push back on ever using their browser.

      <blockquote><em><a href="#578110">In reply to miamimauler:</a></em></blockquote><p>I'll play with some settings. Unfortunately it is intermittent on the lock screen since this is the first time I saw it. If I see it again I'll take a screenshot.</p>

    <p>why do people say "my OS" and "it's browser" like somehow software is supposed to behave differently when addressed with different pronouns </p>
