I keep getting popup ads in Windows 10 from Corel Draw 2020. I l also get the ad popups when I close 2019, and they are annoying as heII.
H_EI can see from your activity log that you have replied but I can still not see anything more than the first two replies here, and three grey dots indicating that something is loading.I heard from Eskimo that he has the same problem.
Corel doesn't want his ads to be blocked, but Corel force all users to see their ads.

FWIW, I think I know now why this thread didn't load.The reason was probably because I use CCleaner's version of Chrome, which very efficiently blocks ads, and there is probably something in this thread that makes CCleaner think it is an ad, or something.Tried in Google Chrome and it loaded instantly.Thanks for all the good ideas H_E.
