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.
Perhaps use redirect scripts or plugins or apps. Windows often about registry so do try that.
I also got it today after a win 11 security update
I don't know what people are doing in Windows to get all these ads. I've never seen a single one.

A bullet?
You could try clicking Yes once, and then immediately switching it back, either to DuckDuckGo or Google.
