Yes, it's trivial to change. And no, a random average user will not cross the "this is a Googlable problem with a solution" realisation stage. This is not a problem for anyone reading this, but every normie I know uses stock settings on windows and no ad blocker. I occasionally get to respond to messages like "I got an error saying 'do X', how do fix this?". Thus is the level of a random user - people creating software have to acknowledge that at some point.

This is a marketing post, in a place where it doesn't belong, complaining about marketing being where it doesn't belong. Apparently that's lost on at least a few regulars. Or more likely, they are upset that we don't want to see their garbage here too
- viraptor 3y ago> Then why is it posted here? I appreciate it being posted, because I don't run stock windows, yet I deal with supporting many windows users. It's not something they'll raise with me if it's not completely breaking their workflow, so it's nice to know what is the latest badness I should be disabling.
- trimethylpurine 3y agoOkay. Fair enough. But wouldn't a post be better simply explaining that a basic setting or group policy exists rather than complaining on an ad packed page for more paragraphs than you care to read?
