>the "ads" are crazy
Currently it is possible to turn these ads off via Settings -> Privacy and Security -> (four ad-related toggles).
Rumor has it they won't be avoidable in the future.
So I'm forced to conclude, the only way to remove bloatware completely from a computer is remove Windows itself.

- tracker1 3y agoThe ads in start menu search results (insiders channel) are what drove me to chainge my primary boot to Linux a bit over a year ago... I've booted windows twice since.
- jacekm 3y agoI use Open Shell (fork of Classic Shell) as a replacement to original Start Menu. This gives me full control over what appears in start menu - no results from internet, animated tiles, etc (I am on Win 10 though, from what I read the Win 11 is supported, but not yet officially [1]). It could be a solution to the ads appearing in start menu. [1] https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu/issues/1564 https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu/issues/1564
