The "Windows Spotlight" lockscreen option occasionally displays ads (they're the "more" in "fun facts, tips, and more", apparently). The start menu frequently showed suggested apps for me to download from the store, until I disabled all the live tiles. The notification area told me to use Edge every time I started up another browser (disabled those notifications too). These are all forms of advertising couched as "helpful tips", with the goal of encouraging me to use products that I'm not already using.
