No that does not happen with the ads. Those only appear during a fresh install and can be clicked away in a matter of seconds.
The only thing that happens with is sometimes Edge and recently the search bar once.
MS deserves hate sure, but not the unwarranted hate some of you have here in the comments.
I think it's pretty warranted. Why would you put ads in my OS in the first place? It's not a free OS either so no excuse to put ads on it.
It comes with almost all new laptops, and a key you can easily find for 5€ online.
It is basically free for anyone, except businesses.
You can just buy the N version instead, which does not have any of the advertisement or bloatware, as instructed by the EU. But then you will have to pay a bit more.
You're still paying for it. The price is just hidden from you in the total of the laptop but you're still fucking buying it.
An OS shouldn't have ads. Period. Especially one that isn't free, enough with the idea that ads being everywhere (and the privacy violations that come with it) is fine or normal, it isn't and it shouldn't be.
Uh huh.
Sure it doesn’t. Microsoft never turns off settings with major updates….
…. Never….
In fact it- that is the advertisement in notifications- happened again with the most recent major update.
But go ahead, ignore my anecdote. I’m sure that makes it more comforting for you. That’s it. I’m just totally incompetent and don’t know how to turn off “suggested” notifications.
I’ll shut up since I clearly don’t know how to use a computer.
