Windows 10: Two question: stop MS ads and what is the reason my files all changes name on my external...

Dear People,I have a MS ad that appears when I start the computer, or if I walk away for some time or set it on Sleep, when I hit a key to start it up there is a full page ad for MS 365 and other offers. Is there a way to stop it? I went into Chrome settings and to add site that cannot redirect. I added MS, Bing, and the actual URL address. I then close. When I go back later there is no sign that I added anything.I backed up about 132 folders that have files within them. They may be videos or Word and pdf files. When I opened it the other day the folders that had dates or descriptions on them

:)

External drives not accepting changes to names

Hi Steve,

You can try changing the driver names through Disk Management. To access disk management, follow these steps:

• Press the Windows key and type, "manage".
• Right-click on Computer Management and choose to Run as Administrator.
  
• On the left pane, click on Disk Management. Here, you may change the names of the external drives.

Also, try revealing hidden files folders and delete the Autorun.inf folder. You will also need administrator rights to delete them. Once they're deleted, restart your computer.

Let us know how it goes.
