Well you just go ahead and try to figure it out.I have been running Win 10 since it came available.
First thing I did is dump the edge browser due to the fact it WILL NOT ALLOW EXTENSIONS such as adblock plus. Simple cure was to install Internet Explorer and ad block plus again. Works like a champ. I have absolutely no problems on this site or any other.
So waste your time and money when all you have to do is install the browser of your choice, make it the default browser in the settings menu, and install ad block.
Easy peasy.

I think you need to find another IT guy. The problem is with your computer not this website.

I've also found that "uBlock Origin" works as a good ad blocker, and knocks down some level of other invasive tracking too.

I've found it to work even better than AdBlock on my phone so I'm running it on my desktop too.
