Look, even if it is. That’s not what Yelena claimed. Yelena is claiming there’s Hot Deals! pop up ads at random times.

It is an ad. And I wasn’t arguing with Yelena. My first reply on this subject was to you saying there isn’t Microsoft Popup Ads.

The setup wizard thing is not a pop up though.
So you can’t qualify it as a pop up ad even if you want to qualify it as an ad.
You start the setup wizard when you initiate the update.
I agree now actually. It’s worse than a popup.
If you really think this is a real problem… I don’t know I guess I feel bad for you that you think something so minor is a big deal.
I don’t think it’s a real problem. It is an ad though.

bye bye… you were warned.

and i dont give a crap about your claims son…there was a LIST of articles there.

Ads .sorry about your misinformation. Win 8 and Win 10 BOTH were designed to push those ads.
theyre either liars or uneducated. LITERALLY BOTH win 8 and 10 were very much ad ridden which was quite intentional. I personally dont give a hang about their lack of education in the matter OR if they 'dont get ads"
those OS systems were DESIGNED for ads lmao.
They can deny it till the end of time, doesnt matter, it is what it is. And I’ll continue to block those who keep derailing this thread with it.
lmao…the ads werent that big an issue. They NEEDED something to hate on today and THIS joke is what they decided to run with.
Theyre a bigger problem than the ads actually are. lol

Greeeeaat…
" On Windows 11, the Lock screen can show different kinds of advertisements . While you can’t disable ads when using the Windows Spotlight feature, it’s possible to select the “Picture” or “Slideshow” option to prevent the system from showing unwanted information on the Lock screen"
THOUSANDS of links to articles all over the web about Windows ADS and they all keep saying “NUH UH” lol.

I hide my profile so that I can talk about stuff like my kids and where I live and the industry that I work in and also have opinions on how people who say that Chromie should suddenly be referred to with male pronouns are wrong, to put one minor hurdle into people potentially being psychopaths in general. As you can see from the link above, it’s not like it does much.
If you need help setting someone with a hidden profile on ignore let me know, I can get you a walkthrough with screenshots. 
I’d also ding you for the misgendering, but I generally get that people just don’t know what gender someone is from a forum avatar. I’ll just say, instead…I’m not your son, buddy.
Anyhoo, there is no built-in ad delivery in Windows 10 and if you’re getting ads (ads with ‘hot deals’ as you described them and not system messages asking you if you want expanded Microsoft features like OneDrive) prompting you to buy random products you’re either on adware-laden sites or your system is infected with adware, but I guess if you’re allergic to running a scan, pop off with continuing to be mystified by why your computer is aggressively trying to sell you stuff I guess. Don’t run a scan out of spite! I’m sure it’ll go great for you. It don’t affect me none.

Very sorry that ive allowed these posters Ive blocked to allow me to get involved in derailing your thread.
They clearly werent in here to help you, but to troll me over some irrelevant trash that has no bearing on anything that matters. I fell for it. My bad
Thread /muted
I will continue to put anyone who brings the topic up again in here on my ignore list

the only thing bothering me is i gotta double check firewall rules after every update cauz they add a bunch of questionable ones everytime.

And MOST of the results are ad-stuffed pages that tell people how to turn off legitimate popup, information and notification features of Windows that people call “ads” but aren’t really, or ad popups in your web browser.
It sounds like you’re seeing AD ads and that’s a sign that you should scan your system for adware. We’re legitimately trying to help you understand so that you can take steps to fix your computer because it seems like it’s frustrating you
But if you need to see it from a third-party site to take in the information:
Today I learned that trying to convince someone who is angry that their system is full of ads that other people don’t seem to have problems with that they should run an adware scan is ‘trolling’

Click bait sites going on the myth that Windows 10 is stuffed with ads. “But it has a link to Xbox gaming in the start menu!”. Yes, that’s a windows feature you can disable or turn off if it bugs you that much.
Good luck convincing Yelena here that its only his system.

It’s not windows that bundles the adware on your system, it’s Dell.

It could just be they bought a Dell, and didn’t remove the provided bloatware.
I can’t find any confirmation of that being Rahkeetahp, but it sure is Ritahayworth.
It’s not just Dell. Any OEM builders is going to have partner deals to bundle garbageware on their PCs. Been like this for 30 years.
