Using daily, only thing I've seen - notification about Edge (which came with the OS). what?
- plopz 9y agoI've seen Office 365 ads in windows explorer
- thecodefoundry 9y agoYes, those were infuriating. Those can easily be disabled, though, via this method: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/turn-off-ads-notifications-explorer http://www.thewindowsclub.com/turn-off-ads-notifications-exp...
- falcolas 9y agoBefore disabling the ads, I saw ads for Halo, Cloud Drive, and prompts to install Office 365 on screensavers and interstitials. If you don't see them, you've likely disabled them.
- nwah1 9y agoThey also have suggested apps in the Store live tile, and on the top of the programs menu. Some of those are not directly from MS, but again at least half are at the moment (Minecraft, etc). Easy to turn off the live tiles and the suggested apps, and you can very quickly type to find any app so many people probably don't even look at the programs menu.
- fhood 9y agoCandy crush showed up in my windows menu every day for a while.
- EasyTiger_ 9y agoFor me it continually installed unwanted games without my consent. This is with AIRQUOTES “Pro”
- tonyedgecombe 9y agoWindows 10 has been frustrating, I could understand them doing this with Basic but you have to pay a hefty premium for the Pro version and you still get this crap.
- jug 9y agoHere are examples of the new, damned Edge ads: https://www.theverge.com/2017/3/17/14956540/microsoft-windows-10-ads-taskbar-file-explorer https://www.theverge.com/2017/3/17/14956540/microsoft-window...
- miaklesp 9y agoOMG. I see you completely got flooded with those ads
