Where are these? I use Windows 10 at home and work, and what you're referring to doesn't ring a bell at all. I already have Office on both machines though, so that may explain one portion.
- forgotAgain 11y agoI confirm that Windows 10 shows advertisements to install Office. They appear as small popups in the notification area of the toolbar. This was on a fresh upgrade of a Windows 8 machine. In task manager I found a running program (which I can't recall the exact name of but the purpose was obvious) that was for posting ads to install Office. I searched for the name and found instructions for uninstalling it. I don't know if there are others or not. I only ran Windows 10 for a few hours to check it out.
