Good time-of-the-day. After a time of using Windows 10 I stumbled over a Notification type that seems to be hidden or even protected from my control. These Notifications pop-up in the center of the screen fading all around them, minimizing any fullscreen program and blocking every my attempt to do something(Alt+Tab, WinLock, TaskMan) except choosing the option(s) they offer. One of them (asks) demands for me to go to the Windows Update Center and choose the time for reboot so the system can update. Second demands for me to go to the website of my antivirus software(ESET) and renew the expired license or uninstall ESET and enable MS Essentials. They pop-up once per boot while their trigger is still present. MS Community Forums blamed ESET and in MS Answer Desk first blamed ESET, than offered to upgrade Win license to FullSupport for their IT to connect to my machine, find and solve my problem. After looking a little in the internet I learned that the files responsible for those notifications are MusNotification.exe and MusNotificationUx.exe. I went back to MS Answer Desk and asked the same question as the last time, but now pointing at those files as the source of those notification. After a few minutes of waiting I was suggested to take down all the flags under "Security messages" in "Windows Security and Maintenance">"Change Windows Security and Maintenance Settings". The only flags I have enabled there are "Microsoft Account", "Windows Update" and "Windows Activation". Last two are grayed-out and cant be disabled. The support than answered that there is nothing else he can do for me except offering FullSupport license upgrade or suggesting me to ask my question here at technet forums. If someone has a suggestion on how to disable those notifications, please tell me. I understand that Windows Updates and Antivirus Virus Signature Database are needed to be up-to-date as soon as possible for best protection, but annoy with such Notifications if you ignore the updates for some time(for antivirus it starts the same moment the license has expired) and causing with them crushes of some applications is going too far IMHO.

Hello Michael! I did as you asked and ran a Clean Boot. The Notification still did pop-up.
Also the screenshots:
First is in Clean Boot. Second one is example of "Updates are available" that isn't currently present for me since the OS is updated at this moment.
For the message of the first screenshot:
"Security subscription has expired.
ESET Smart Security subscription has expired. Renew the subscription or uninstall security software. After its removal Windows Defender will be enabled for system protection.
Renew ESET Smart Security 9; Uninstall"
