I love how this absolutely genuine problem of Windows needs to be kept in the dark for some reason and people are downvoting the post.
Linux can play some anticheat games as well like Apex, OW2, The Finals, CS and more. Check [areweanticheatyet.com](http://areweanticheatyet.com) for more info if you play these kind of games, Oher games should work.
EDIT: Yes, the debloater script lists removing ads as one of its features, so I recommend giving it a try

Never got one of these either. Then again I did make the window installer with rufus and disabled a bunch of crap with it.

Idk how you get this ads, I never got this, maybe because i’m in the EU?

How did you get your Taskbar to be see through?
As for the pop up. As far as I know its a onetime pop up.
You should be able to turn off the Chrome notifications entirely. I think its caused through that.
Wait, why are people talking about gaming and linux when this is clearly a windows and bloatware problem? Did I miss something?

Settings > Search Notifications and Actions, click > Scroll down to the bottom > Open up “Additional Settings” > Toggle off “Suggest ways to get the most out of Windows and finish setting up this device” and “Get tips and suggestions when using Windows”.
Always Microsoft and their stupid ass “suggestions”.
I think this should do the job. If not, let us (me) know.
There’s always people writing nonsense comments, no one helps here goddamn.

I never got these, and unlike anyone else, I didn’t do any particular debloat except cleaning the start menu.

Woah, so many weirdos are suggesting to switch to linux – are you guys nuking your whole house whenever any kind of issue occurs? What a circus.
To the op – I don’t have this issue and I don’t know which exact steps to suggest, but there are many possible solutions to try (from disabling things in the settings to tweaking things in registry and group policy editor) and one of them will surely work.

I did a bunch of reg edits to remove Bing and other Microsoft intrusions from the start menu and search functions.
I can’t remember where I found the tutorial to do it, but I’ve never seen a pop up ad on my screen.

Hahaha, this thread right here is the proof of how pathetic the world has become with people essentially defending an OS that has ads by deault on (whether you can remove them or not). Unbelievable, yet true. You guys deserve what you get. Enough said, 🙂

As soon as I saw this, I knew there were going to be Linux comments 😂. Anyways, you can disable those by typing in suggestions in the start menu and going into settings turning them off
I got nothing for the OP but reading all the Linux posts I figured I’ll leave something here.
I use PCs since I was little and I love tinkering so the idea of Linux excites me but I never got along with it and until recently I didn’t understand why, now I do.
In terms of tinkering there was a way for Windows 9x and XP to run perfectly for the hardware at the time and even when I tried Hackintoshes usually all my hardware was supported with enough tinkering but Linux?
My HDR monitor and TV would go to waste since Linux so far only has basic experimental HDR support and it might be years until it catches up with that.
Last I checked my Logitech keyboard and mouse would lose half their advanced functions, some that I use for work because there aren’t any official drivers.
Same with my Soundblaster X3, would I get sound? Sure but the rest would either not work or be fiddly.
I have a Nvidia GPU and last time I tried it I couldn’t get G-Sync to work.
And lastly there is Kernel Anti-Cheat. Whenever my friends want to play a game with one I would have to reboot to Windows and then back and with time that will become annoying.
Is any of that Linux fault? No but I’m not going to buy new hardware and peripherals for an OS because many manufacturers don’t support it.
When Linux is on par with Windows as far as functions go and doesn’t impact my daily computing life, then I will switch to it full time.

I’ve had Windows 11 since the start and I’ve never seen this. I think it’s a setting you can change but I’m not sure.

That’s one more reason why I won’t update to 11

Do not think that I am a hater but uninstall google chrome. chrome has been known to show random ads that way. Uninstall it and see how it runs after an hour. Let us know the results.

theres a couple of fixes,
One is going into registry and disable the edge online search feature (wich does some other good stuff besides removing the adds)
Second solution requires some time, but will net you a more permanent and clean fix

as someone who has found the only game I currently play doesn’t run on linux.. perhaps this will help?

I have windows 11 and never got one of these.
plssss send a link or a img of ur wallpaper 🙏🙏
I’ve been using Win 11 for quiet a while, but never seen any ads. I’ve applied a [debloater script](https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat) an I’m using [OOSU](https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10) (as should every Windows user), so maybe one of the options also disabled ads.
