    I just installed Win11 on a work computer last week, and there were at least 3 screens of the installer trying to push o365 or one drive.

    Then you have the start menu where if you look for a software, 90% of the menu is an ad trying to push you a software. At the bottom, you have your search results.

    And then there is the pop ups on the bottom right of the screen trying to sell you Candy Crush or another bullshit software.

    That’s awful and I’m glad it wasn’t my computer

      not sure where all those ads are here unless you mean the search queries on the web??

        No one needs search queries from the web in their start menu. If I want to search the web I’ll use a web browser.

          it’s not the start menu it’s specifically when you press the search button and start typing.

            When I press the winkey and search (which is the most efficient way to search the start menu) I get web search shit in the results. This is not desirable.

          it’s windows 11 home with a 365 family subscription.

        I don’t have the pc with me anymore, but I will try to find a screenshot that was circulating around with a ton of ads, which was my experience as well.
