I wonder if this affects any of the telemetry systems they use to send user data back to the mothership (Microsoft servers)? I haven't looked into it in a while but there used to be a powershell script to disable a lot of it in the registry.

Microsoft will let users uninstall Edge, Bing, and disable ads on Windows 11 as it complies with the Digital Markets Act
(www.windowscentral.com)
Just in time for Windows 10 going out of support. I guess the next time Windows nags my wife about updating to 11 I can tell her to go ahead.
I always hear people complaining about ads on their win 11 and it confuses me, as I've never seen a single ad in my win 11 install.
In what section are the ads showing up?

This sounds to good to be true.. What's the catch? A monthly subscription??

I wish Apple would let me uninstall Apple Music and stop media keys opening it by default.
