This one is a repeat - But we are starting to see more staff having these issues. JUST SAY NO to the Allow Show Notifications popup. ---Are you getting annoying reminders in Windows 10 that look like spam? If so, you are allowing notifications from certain websites and they are popping up in Windows 10. These can be bad... if you allow them from sites that are not that great. In other words... the website can continue to spam you with notifications.
Go into your Chrome settings here: (Paste this in your URL) ---> chrome://settings/content/
Under your Allow - Remove most sites. (You may still want a few from Google Drive, etc... but most should be removed.) If you can not remove them via a 3-drop menu, then they are an app or extension you have installed.
When you go to a website and it asks you this.... say no!
