    Or literally just use the existing option in the settings menu that has been there since Windows 10 to turn this shit off.

    All of this is clickbait.

      Clicking a checkbox in a settings menu is so complicated, though!

      Simpler to install Linux, a whole new operating system, and try to figure out how to either run your Windows apps there or find new equivalent applications to use.

      Imagine depending on a company giving you the privilege of turning off ads in the operating system you paid $100USD for.

      MS can get bent, I’m sick of advertising. Read the news, ads, watch any video without Adblock, ads, go out in public to enjoy a day out with my family, ads on every road and square foot of space. Now they want to put ads on the main menu of an operating system I only use to for relaxation and entertainment, but they were oh so kind to give me the option of turning them off for now. I’m not waiting for them to decide to remove the option, I’m going to remove myself from the equation.

      I already gave these greedy bastards my money, I just want some peace and quiet while I relax, but that’s too much to ask for these days.

        Yep. It’s my goal to be as unprofitable a citizen for our corporate overlords as possible.

        I want them to lose money by doing business with me.

        I want them to go bankrupt so that their future replacements can learn from their mistakes and not repeat them.

        If they choose to be user hostile, I’ll match their energy and multiply it. Fuck em.
