Great! So any idea how you can opt out? Last time I've seen one of these "suggestions" was one or two weeks ago, when I ended up with a big red "Still using Firefox? The new Edge version is here" entry in the Start menu.

Fair enough, that one comes through the suggestions channel., which is opt-out

The commitment to FUD and aversion to googling stuff was impressive, I have to admit.

What FUD? And what aversion to "googling stuff"? The Start Menu Personalization is only one of the ad delivery channels, and only one about which I (literally) forgot.

Do you still mean to say that there are no ads on a legitimately-purchased Windows 10 copy, after literally writing that you, yourself, have seen at least one?
