    You can just right click on the task bar and turn that feature off… I’ve done it in close to 1000 Windows machines at this point.

        If you open up the app store, there are ads… Pretty sure Apple has some integrated “news and interests” equivalent feature that also serves ads.

        Also, my windows update has not turned the news and interests back on. Maybe you’re doing something wrong?

        • I an running windows inside linux. i am absolutely doing something wrong, but that’s besides the point. OS ads hit differently than in-app ads. Also when I remove or disable a feature, it should stay dead, unlike the search bar that gets resurrected at next windows update.

            Is that Windows OS persistent and you apply updates to it, or are you creating a new updated image every time an update comes out? Not sure how you are managing your windows OS on Linux, but if you loading a fresh OS each time, then it would make sense that the default options would get reset each time.
