Like the kid in the Christmas movie, disgusted when he realized how his Ovaltine Orphan Annie Decoder Ring was a 'crummy commercial', Windows has morphed into its own commercial. It's like the friendly UAC spokesgirl in Doom Eternal who quipped: Please remain calm, you may notice a slight change in the environment. Fear not, It's all part of the plan.For some reason it incessantly has a pop up screen promoting the Window's Teams app...
In a recent earnings call Nadella touted the plan:
In consumer [sic], Windows is key to curating our content and services to help every person with their everyday tasks...
So if you turn off the ads, your content and services won't be curating as intended, your productivity will suffer, and you won't be helped in your everyday tasks, like you deserve.
Frankly, I wouldn't mind if my content was curating as planned, if only the Windows Team could fix all the user space stuff that they broke in 11, that was working OK in 10. But that would probably be asking too much, given their priorities.
