Not sure if this is still up-to-date:
Disable Windows 10 Lock Screen Ads and Tips easily[^]
Settings ⇒ Personalisation ⇒ Lock screen
Turn off "Get fun facts, tips and more from Windows and Cortana on your lock screen"

Not 100% up to date, but it did give me some useful info.
Unfortunately to get access to the slider that disables the ads, I apparently have to completely disable Windows Spotlight, which then means that I can't get the pretty pictures either.

If all you want is the pretty pictures: disable the lock screen, as I described earlier, and use a screensaver to lock the machine.

But it appears like there is also one or more registry solutions:

The second solution in the above link (registry hack) seemed to do the trick for me. I get pretty pictures, but no ads (as far as I can tell right now anyway)!

What upsets me is that you can't do a force install.

Thanks! That was going to be my next try. You'd think that if you can do that, they'd allow the installer to do a forced one.
