I always hear people complaining about ads on their win 11 and it confuses me, as I've never seen a single ad in my win 11 install.
In what section are the ads showing up?
On the widgets board and the news app. It's shown up in occasional other locations
I use the News app only on accident sometimes, so I'm not certain about that. There has definitely never been an ad on my widget board. Are there any differences in Win 11 Pro to other versions?
I also paid like 18€ for a key and did a fresh install instead of an upgrade if that makes any difference.
It's possible. Straight out of the box, computers and laptops tend to come with all sort of bloatware, both Microsoft's own and the vendor's.
The start menu in win10 was the main place to see ads, but anyone with minor computer knowledge could turn it off.
