Have to use Windows for work (I’ve asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification… That’s clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

    I don’t get these on my Windows PCs. But I did turn off a few settings, installed Open Shell for the Win7 style start menu, and Explorer Patcher to fix Win11’s stupid task bar changes.

      You shouldn’t have to do all of that.

        Right, but it makes my work laptop more tolerable at least.

      May be related to location (Europe/Germany). I haven’t gotten any ads in Microsoft beyond what I am already subscribed to (office365) anyway.
