I've never seen this appear. Is this in chrome? Anyway, like some people here have suggested, you can use a debloater script or something similar. I personally use O&O Shutup10. Hopefully enabling some options in there would work. Or you could just accept it and then change your search engine back to whatever you use lol.
I don't know what people are doing in Windows to get all these ads. I've never seen a single one.

Perhaps use redirect scripts or plugins or apps. Windows often about registry so do try that.
