Click bait avoided, a prerelease build of Windows suggests some kind of general advertising in the start menu beyond promoting ads.
Sounds like we need to start developing ad-blockers based directly within the OS.
Or literally just use the existing option in the settings menu that has been there since Windows 10 to turn this shit off.
All of this is clickbait.
Clicking a checkbox in a settings menu is so complicated, though!
Simpler to install Linux, a whole new operating system, and try to figure out how to either run your Windows apps there or find new equivalent applications to use.
