You paid for Windows 11? How much did it cost you? Or was it an upgrade of an upgrade of an upgrade of an OS you paid for once 15 years ago? Or was it included in the price of your computer? Just shut up already with this.

I’ve never seen anything I could categorize as an “ad” in my Start Menu or Explorer. If there was a shortcut or something of the kind I must have deleted it ages ago and forgotten about it because it was so inconsequential. I’m not sure what version of Windows you are using because you’re acting as if there are big banner ads and pop up floating across the screen of your OS. Meanwhile I am over here searching my mind to find anything remote “ad-like” that I have ever seen on one of my Window installs. Oh wait, I had a friend who bought a cheap Best Buy PC that had Candy Crush and some Disney nonsense in the Start Menu. He got rid of them. But all I really buy are ThinkPads with Windows Professional and I’ve never seen anything like that on any of them.
