One of the many reasons I always run privacy.sexy every time I need to install windows (on both bare metal and inside a VM).
I use O&O ShutUp10++ (oosu10) to do the same thing. Makes Windows feel like Windows, instead of an ad machine.
Whenever people complain about ads I have NO idea what they're talking about.
Edge will say it's "maintained by your organization", which seemed spooky, but that's just a side-effect from having some privacy.
Ooooooh, so that's why I started seeing that shit. I thought I had a virus, lmao. Cheers.
