Windows 11 now comes with its own adware
It used to be that you could pay for a retail version of Windows 11 and expect it to be ad-free, but those days are apparently finito.
The latest update to Windows 11 ( KB5036980) comes out this week and includes ads for apps in the "recommended" section of the Start Menu, one of the most oft-used parts of the OS. The app suggestions are enabled by default, but you can restore your previously pristine Windows experience if you've installed the update, fortunately. While removing it isn't a huge deal, it may also remind folks of the needless time they spent stripping bloatware from OEM Windows installations.
