Turn off message/ads on Windows 10 lock screen.

Perhaps it's just me, but without notice I now get a bunch of messages on the Windows 10 lock screen that look like ads and self promotion. This feel it was just pushed on me and when that happens it tends to annoy.

The good thing is if you don't like the ads/messages on the Windows 10 lock screen you can get rid of them fairly easily as follows.
  • Click on the Windows icon
  • Click the Settings cog
  • Select Personalisation
  • Select Lock Screen
In the section Background you'll see Windows spotlight is selected in the drop down list. Change this setting to Picture and you'll see a few more options.

You'll see there's an option "Get fun facts, tips, and more from Windows and Cortana on your lock screen.

Turn this option off and the ads/messages will be gone.
