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.

It's kind of embarrassing to see so many linux nerds talk about ads in Windows 11, like navigating the settings menu is difficult.

I use linux and Windows. I haven't seen an ad in windows since i installed and disabled them.

1: you shouldn't have to

2: you have to go to like 6 different places to get most of them and there are still ads for microsoft products baked into the settings menu
