Have you ever opened the start menu? There are ads there. Unless you’re using some release like LTSC or have a network-level Adblock there are ads in there. For TikTok, candy crush, Disney+, etc. it’s like the preinstalled bloat on some androids, they’re just ads you have to annoyingly remove from your start menu.
That sounds horrible… I’ve never seen these, though. I don’t use anything special so far as I know. I’m on Windows 10 on one computer I run all day, and Windows 11 for the one I use all evening.
Assuming you’re not making this up, could Microsoft be rolling these out only to specific individuals for a trial run, or something? I don’t even have Windows Pro…
Or… actually… I built my computers from the ground up. Did you buy yours from HP, Dell, or another manufacturer? Could THEY be putting ads into their updates somehow?

I just did and I have no idea what you’re talking about. All I see are my pinned apps and recently used files.
