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

I have win11 on my gaming pc and i don't see any ads. Maybe because i use local account.

Don't you have any news, and other suggestions on the taskbar, lock screen etc? Also, are you in the EU?

Is it possible that the suggestions Windows is giving you don't perceive them as ads?
