I can't believe a paid OS needs a tool like this. Here's a GUI tool called OFGB (Oh Frick Go Back) to remove all the ads in Windows 11. It's understandable if a free OS or app needs ad support, but this is just crazy github.com/xM4ddy/OFGB

It isn't hard but it is tedious because each of the ad settings is in a different location. Like taskbar has its settings which aren't configured in the Settings app where you can turn off the ads. Settings has places in search and another in privacy. Look at the OP image. It's 9 different settings that need to be found and turned off.

9 settings all easily accessible via the search bar in settings.

Idk im not seeing the absolutely gigantic issue that anti-windows people make it out to be - at worst, it's a minor nuisance.

The issue is ads are for supporting free software. Windows is not free therefore should not be showing ads.
