@POPS555, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

To stop annoying pop-ups on your HP laptop running Windows 11, you can utilize built-in browser settings and third-party extensions designed to block pop-ups effectively. Here’s how you can do it for various browsers:

Microsoft Edge:

Open Microsoft Edge: Click the More actions icon (three dots) in the upper-right corner, and select Settings.

Navigate to Cookies and Site Permissions: On the left-hand menu, select Cookies and site permissions, then click Pop-ups and redirects.

Enable Block Option: Slide the Block (recommended) toggle to On.

Google Chrome:

1. Open Chrome: Click on the More actions icon (three dots) in the upper-right corner and select Settings.
2. Privacy and Security: On the left-hand menu, choose Privacy and security, then click Site settings.
3. Pop-ups and Redirects: Scroll down to the Content section and select Pop-ups and redirects. Choose the option that does not allow sites to send pop-ups or use redirects.

Mozilla Firefox:

1. Open Firefox: Click the More actions icon (three lines) in the upper-right corner and select Settings.
2. Privacy & Security: On the menu, choose the Privacy & Security option.
3. Block Pop-Up Windows: In the Permissions section, ensure the Block pop-up windows box is checked. You can add exceptions by clicking the Exceptions button.

These settings will help you block unwanted pop-ups and improve your browsing experience. Additionally, consider installing extensions like Adblock Plus for robust pop-up blocking.
