Two hard problems in computer science are cache validation and naming things. I suspect you're losing the cache validation problem, while your girlfriend has mastered the naming one.

I'm reminded of a (true) story from 20+ years ago. A recently-divorced co-worker of mine was complaining that since he was again a bachelor, he let a big pile of clothes accumulate on his bedroom floor starting in the previous Winter. After a year of the pile getting bigger (with his Summer clothes on top of it), he was complaining he now had to dig deeper into it to find his Winter clothes he wore the previous year.
I suggested he just take the entire pile and flip it upside-down.

Had to look this up.
Never heard of the word and it still doesn't sound like a real word to me.

It is a real word. I considered it for my penultimate attempt.

Yeah, I looked it up.
It's not a word you hear often, or at all.

So my wife is out looking for patterns - she's a crafter - and has managed to pick up a rather insidious ad dohicky that pops up, claims the end of the world, you need McAffeee (really?), etc. Call this number. In doing my research, I came across this gem on the Microsoft "community" forums:
"Edge can now run in the background due to a new feature, you may wish to turn this off."
Are you elephanting kidding me? Turning this off fixed the issue, but wow. Microsoft, take Edge and stick it where the sun don't shine.

I've learned more. More info to come. Microsoft blows. 4.5 weeks.

wow, turns out those Microsoft peckerheads have embedded Edge as sort of a default user interface. I've come across postings on support where Edge runs in the background by default. I suspect it is how they push their ad bs to the desktop. So, if your desktop gets hijacked, and you are getting popups demanding you install mcafee, it's because Edge is running in the background. Another example of Microsoft nonsense about security and what not.
I run professional and I f'ing refuse to create a network account so that "all of my devices" are in sync. Hell no. Windows 11 Home makes it hard to do this, Pro is a little better. This weekend's task is to switch SWMBO back to a local account and replace office 365. Doing a quick google search for "how to switch a windows 11 home laptop back to local login" the second result is "Change from a local account to a Microsoft account" 
Consider this a PSA. By the end of the summer, I'll be all unix unless someone tosses me a basket full of cash.

I'm not sure I'm getting the full picture.
Edge can run as a background task even though you might not have launched it yourself. Ok, given how pervasive browsers are nowadays, I can't say I'm surprised. Even back in 1997, Gates himself was claiming in front of a judge that it was impossible to remove IE from Windows.
Every McAfee ad I've ever seen (and there's been plenty) was hosted on some web page, but I've never seen a standalone ad for it (if that's what you're describing). Or could that system have come with the typical McAfee 60-day trial, after which time it becomes even more of an annoyance. And if that's the case, then that's even worse than some browser-hosted pop-up ad, as this means McAfee has an actual EXE running on that system (and running with full admin rights, as AVs do).
And I'm not sure where a local account vs a Microsoft account comes into play or might fix anything.
