Hey Leon,
One thing I missed before - on the top of the pop-ups there is a website - 'totalrecaptcha.top'. I dropped the domain name into one of our security tools and it was reported as malicious.
So I suspect you've picked up a gremlin along the way somewhere. Now to get rid of the devil before it does any further damage to your machine.
Use another (clean!) computer to download the MalwareBytes malware scanner tool and copy it to a USB stick.
On the infected machine, turn it on and do not enable the WiFi. Use the USB stick to install MalwareBytes (remove the USB drive after installing) and do a full scan. Quarantine / remove anything it finds and then run another scan.
Turn on the Wifi and see if it comes back.
Sadly, you might need to do a full "burn it to the ground and rebuild from trusted media" on your laptop to totally get rid of it.
Yes, malware sucks.
Cheers,
V
