If they are on your browser, use the browser's ad blocker usually under options

If they are pop-ups on the side then go to settings in Windows 10, select privacy, and decide which background apps you want to turn on or off. Many ads pop-up through those pre-installed background apps

Also, under settings/System/notifications

Not sure if that is what you are talking about
