Ads now appear in the start menu and on the lock screen. Turning off suggestions does not stop all ads. For example, my start menu tiles currently include Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition and Microsoft Solitaire.

right-click --> uninstall. Not difficult.
Except MS reinstalls them on each update for me.

Yes, it is difficult to get them uninstalled forever.

They should've never been in there in the first place, that's what forced ads mean.

I don't care how easy they are to uninstall. Why is my start menu a suitable place for ads?
