I have no ads in Windows 11. The biggest difference is the hardware requirements of Windows 11.

Ads? From an operating system? Is this true?
I am totally Linux myself, but if Windows has dropped to the point where the OS is actually presenting ads, I would not recommend that OS to anyone. Are you sure it's the OS that is throwing ads at you? Or is it just third party some application/website that is running on top of the OS? |

I haven't seen any ads, but then I use a patch that enables the Windows 10 start menu, which was head and shoulders above that of Windows 11. Same for the taskbar.

There's no advertisement on EU Windows, but US apparently has them.

Maybe, there's a way to block them. I don't know. I also know that now, when you do Menu search, instead of looking through your applications, Windows 11 opens up a website in Edge (even when Edge is not your default browser). https://www.pcmag.com/news/microsoft...ndows-11-users |

That article is ridiculous. No operating system update can damage any hardware.

Going back a lot of years but at one point, you could damage IBM 5151 monitors when the software sent the the wrong horizontal sync signal.
