    Thank you lol. It’s disheartening to see people up in arms (majority of MS related posts in the past week) spreading vague misinfo about a disableable feature when they are putting ads in the OS.

    Just, priorities, people 🤦‍♀️

      The ads in the OS are disableable as well. They just aren’t off by default, and are labeled something like “software suggestions” in the settings app.

        valid information to know. i don’t think the ads can be turned off during the first boot setup process though, which is a key distinction here.

          You’re correct, you have to find the settings (not near my pc but I think they’re in taskbar settings) after initial setup and you’ll see their “suggestions” until you do.
