Looks to me you allowed a website to send you notifications on Chrome.

  1. Click the Chrome menu (the three vertical dots in the upper right corner of the Chrome window) and and select Settings.
  2. Scroll down to Show Advance Settings.
  3. Under "Privacy and security," click Site Settings.
  4. Scroll down to "Notifications." Here you can choose what notifications are allowed to appear on your desktop.
  5. Turn off notifications from any site you no longer want to see notifications from.
  6. Click Done.
 
You can start by decrapifying your install :)

That should fix 99% of windows' spyware and bloatware

If you are so inclined, you can also remove every application package installed on your machine tagged "online" with powershell. Though, that nukes almost everything a windows install comes with, including the calculator.

Why is the windows 10 calculator tagged as an online app with network permissions?.....

What this guy said

Or click the add, once on the webpage right click on the little lock before the address, go to website settings and go disable notifications from it.

Because the currency calculator has to get the current rates off the Interwebs?

Ooooh! I didnt know it did that :ROFL:

I legitimately thought they were collecting metadata on mouse button presses, numpad and numerical row usage etc. and somehow using that to build profile data about a user.

Not that they're not, but currecy conversion makes sense
