    Popups appearing on startup, Window 10


    I have started seeing popups when the computer is first powered on. These appear before I log in and have to do with market reports, weather and sports, none of which have I asked for. They disappear when I go to log on and my desktop appears. This started in the last week and I'm wondering if some update to Windows 10, Firefox or other program left me this Easter egg. It is of no use to me and I'd like to get rid of it. Any ideas? Running Windows 10 version 22H2.

    You're probably seeing the new Lock Screen apps. Scroll down to the middle for the W10 instructions:

    That was indeed the issue and it's solved (at least for now). Thanks!
