Have to use Windows for work (I've asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification... That's clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

I don't get these on my Windows PCs. But I did turn off a few settings, installed Open Shell for the Win7 style start menu, and Explorer Patcher to fix Win11's stupid task bar changes.

May be related to location (Europe/Germany). I haven't gotten any ads in Microsoft beyond what I am already subscribed to (office365) anyway.

I only turned off advertising ID and I never get any ads on the Pro version.
