And yes, I remember reading somewhere that Microsoft would start advertising within Windows.

I got a new Lenovo laptop a few weeks ago with w11. It took 3 weeks for me to find and prevent all of the pop ups. They would come up in game, in a movie. I was so close to returning the laptop.

[That a ton of tweaks](https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-remove-most-annoying-ads-from-windows) is need to just reduce, far from eliminate, the advertisements built into the OS is just ridiculous. It becomes incredibly striking when you don’t use Windows as your daily OS because then you notice the ads you had previously been habituated to.

Honestly. This is why we need completion and game devs prioritizing other OS systems.

Microsoft was right. Windows 10 will be my last Windows OS.

One of the many reasons why I am glad to use GNU/Linux.

Linux folks need to unite or not be so dispersed and tribal, put together an os anyone can use as easy as Windows. Where installing games and other software and running them is just as easy and work just as well.

Been using windows 11 since day one and no ads. This looks like something related to a bing app or chrome itself. I also don’t have any windows bloat installed so that could be it.

Windows 10 is doing the same thing

Looks like a bing issue

Uninstall bing.

I’ve never seen this come up but I use Firefox as my browser. As shitty as this methodology is, they’re at least trying to carve a hole into the chrome monopoly, which is good because fuck chrome and fuck Google.

Microsoft is dying to get people to use bing 💀

I’ve just managed to get Linux running on my a laptop and I like it.
I’ll probably keep one PC on windows for games and will do everything else on Linux.

Disable online search in registry. You’ll gain great search, lose all the ads, copilot and edge functionality.

are all of you in America or something?
here in the UK ive not had a single pop up for windows 11, and i am on the latest version, have had it since it came out, have no 3rd party software on it to block pop ups or anything liek that?
if you are in USA it seems the issue is more your hyper end stage corporate capitalist system and its govenrment support, rather than windows itself, the whole “dont blame the player blame the game” thing

The biggest reason to move to Linux for most users will not be the better stability, increased security, open source or any of the things people before 2022 had to change their OS, the biggest reason will be Windows 11 and Microsoft terrible management of their pseudo monopoly.

Well that’s where it’s going.

I remember getting down voted a few months ago in the pc gaming subreddit for calling out ads in the OS. Here we are.

Pop-ups like these happen all the time across all Windows versions. It’s a push-notification. Programs like Nvidia, McAfee, Logitech, EA Launcher utilise them for reminders and marketing. Very annoying but not uncommon.

So much bloat auto installing in W11. Same for Edge, it feels like every menu gets an extra option per 2 weeks.
Anyone got tips to prevent or reduce this?
gauerrrr
Is this the final reason we needed to release an actually user friendly Linux distro to finally put Windows in it’s place? Or are we just gonna turn a blind eye to yet another unacceptable problem and keep using this parasitic ass, money driven, ad infested, bullshit system?

I’m using W11 and still haven’t seen any.

Maybe it’s related to this?
