Go into settings and look for all the tracking and ad personalisaton features. now go find a similar option in OSX or Linux, you wonβt find one. This is because windows is subsidized by ads. similar to NetZero but you still have to pay for it. You can continue to disable these features but my point is I donβt even want the option to view more ads from a product I already bought.
I an running windows inside linux. i am absolutely doing something wrong, but thatβs besides the point. OS ads hit differently than in-app ads. Also when I remove or disable a feature, it should stay dead, unlike the search bar that gets resurrected at next windows update.
Whatβs your secret? One quick way to see ads is to click on the weather in the bottom right corner. I have done all of these things but, like the commenters in that link have mentioned, none of them work.
You really cannot disable windows advertising. each windows update brings more ads, more tracking and less options for controlling them. There are tools to disable ads, like windows AME but those disable windows updates, which youβre going to want to have for security updates.
If you know of a better way to disable advertising I am all ears. I run windows, mac and linux daily and really wish I didnβt have to use windows, or could at least use it closer to how I use linux. Iβve heard that even group policies are not respected. I canβt imagine how much time and money has been lost using windows in a corporate environment just due to ads as distractions.
