In Win 11 Edge, when I click on a link, another tab opens with advertisement. It started about a month ago and I cannot get rid of it. I can't delete and reload edge. Any suggestions? In the meantime, I've gone back to Chrome

What I have tried:

Tried to scan it for a virus - no luck, tried to delete and reload it, can't delete edge.

Try looking in the Extensions in Edge. You might have something installed in there that's pulling the ads down.

Go to the "..." menu in the top-right corner of the Edge window and click "Extensions".
