Like other notifications, they’re also stored in the Action Center so you can see them later. For example, you might see a notification telling you to set up Cortana.
In the Creators Update, Microsoft added new “suggestions” that appear as notifications. These ads inform you about various Windows features and appear as normal desktop notifications. RELATED: What's New in Windows 10's Creators Update To do so, head to Settings > System > Notifications & Actions and disable the “Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows” option.

Windows 10 now displays ads on the lock screen via Windows Spotlight. RELATED: How to Disable Ads on Your Windows 10 Lock Screen
