This would make netflix to slame Because if they get sick of ads in windows they quit for good Who wants to watch more ads Microsoft think is would be good to destory ad plans
Thank you so much! I am setting up a new laptop, first time with Windows 11, and the constant ads were so annoying. I could not help but notice that each step required "scroll to the bottom," where microsoft tries to hide this garbage.
Thank you, those were getting annoying as hell. I just got a new laptop and this is my first time using/working with Windows 11 and it was obscene getting bombarded by all these f**king ads!
Nice tutorial. I hate stuff that just happens. Strikes me that more and more often these days we're getting paid for products that contain advertising.
I hate ads in apps of any kinid and I really hate that MS has put them in operating system components. Thanks for the video on how to get rid of some of them. Now, if you could give me an easy way to get riid of ads in games and on the internet, I would be really happy.
excellent video. I really hate ads, especially the windows ones - they interrupt my train of thought when i'm trying to focus on tasks. I'm trying Ubuntu, and there's a learning curve there, but at least no ads! If i can get to grips with one of the linux systems I'll dump microsoft completely. In the meantime, thanks for this very useful tutorial
Honestly if this is how MS is going to be, I'll reinstall Windows 7 instead. Might as well use the last GOOD version of Windows if I have to use it at all. There are ways to stay safe even on an old os like that
Well I would like to know is how to delete the code that allows Windows 11 to apply ads so it does not contain any of the software that brings ads to the operating system
@brett in Tech Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Off topic question. Is there anything better than Google Maps. I just tried "Here we Go". This is not the app to use if you're driving and your passenger is a Stroke Survivor. Which would mean I have more going on, while driving than most. As I mean earlier Google Maps isn't much better. Is there anything else you would recommend. Again thank you 👍
OK have done most of these. But Mr Brett - is there a way to stop MS Edge continually asking me if I want to have it as my default browser? As a personal preference I don't want it to be default, I say no, and it lays off for a couple of weeks or so but then I get asked again. And I get asked everytime I have had an Edge update . . .
Great video! I have done all that. Whilst writing, another thing that annoys me in Windows is File Explorer. I would like to see a much simpler arrangement where only the drive letters (and possibly Onedrive) appear in the left hand pane. Is this possible? To me, all the other Windows-generated folders are both unnecessary and confusing.
Thank your for this video. I could go on a tangent, but in my opinion, it's disgusting that they basically have ads set on default, on your personal computer on an Operating system you paid for. like get off my screen dude!
I've never seen ads. My issue is not being able to put the taskbar at the top without a third-party utility and now having to verify opening a link from my Favorites menu ever since the latest update. Who in their infinite wisdom decided this was the best way for Windows to function?! 😠
@Brett in Tech Thank you for another Great Video 👍 Question for you. In some of the comments a few are talking about Linux operating system. I have never used Linux. Is this a good alternative to Microsoft, I currently Windows 10 system. And I am looking to buy a new Laptop. My old Sony is almost dead. I 've had her for about fifteen years. Out of all the systems I have had access to. She been the Best. Back to my original question. How is to use between Microsoft and Linux. Is it difficult to learn ? Again thank you 👍
In short there are many great Linux distros that are user friendly like Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin, etc... A downside for many people is some software is not made for Linux, but there are good alternatives for almost every program.
How do I feel about MS including ads, and tracking in their premier OS? It's direct and substantial breach of user trust, served up in a semi-obfuscated way, as your video is a witness to. They spread out the off switches so users have to go to different places in the OS to shut off what is fundamentally the same thing [think changing default apps in Windows 11 as well]. I'm guessing this is a psychological move that works. As in - Make it difficult for the average user to find things, and they might give up, increasing our profits. Windows 11 is a dumpster fire OS. I've used Windows as my main OS since Windows 3.1. I've also used Linux for near the same time period - from the Mid 1990s. This is the first time I've seriously considered, and probably will, split my track-able activities on Windows 11, over to Linux. If MS is willing to semi-obfuscate the security settings that turn off ads and tracking, what's to say they aren't doing it anyway, in some other way? Paying fines for getting caught is a drop in the bucket for them. They've fundamentally given up on users.
I have the perfect solution to ads in a product that I BOUGHT AND PAID FOR... Linux Doesn't these settings reset with an update? Never watched your channel before, nice videography, nice oration and scripting and easy to follow instructions.
Around 3:20 System notifications sort by apps- every dang one of them are locked as I cannot turn them off!!! Problem- I uninstalled onedrive and am STILL getting a popup each time of get on my pc to back up my files. HOW DO I STOP IT?????? I have gone thru every step I can find on disabling notifications and this one will not stop. I hate Microsoft.
Your information seems helpful, but I am an Apple user and do not know some of the basic navigational tips with Windows 11. In your video you go from the Personalization screen directly to the "This PC" screen and you start talking about disabling stuff. How do you get from the "Personalization Screen" to the "This PC Screen." You do not mention that step that is probably so simple everyone knows it. I do not. What is the trick to getting there.
I ended up moving to Linux a few weeks ago, really shocked how they keep pushing the envelope with ads and telemetry; slowly normalizing it. I can bet there will soon come a point there won't be any way to turn this stuff off, at least the options are there.
Really a bold - an annoying move to include adds in a paid product, so thanks for this!
If they're going to force ads in our faces, they should provide the OS for FREE!
This would make netflix to slame
Because if they get sick of ads in windows they quit for good
Who wants to watch more ads
Microsoft think is would be good to destory ad plans
Thank you so much! I am setting up a new laptop, first time with Windows 11, and the constant ads were so annoying. I could not help but notice that each step required "scroll to the bottom," where microsoft tries to hide this garbage.
Thanks for the no-BS tutorial! Very refreshing
This was a big help in removing a HUGE annoyance. Thank you.
We also added some entries to the HOSTS file. Windows does not need to be phoneing home until I give it permission and then only to check for updates.
hardcore agree its cumbersome and not entirely user friendly
Thank you, those were getting annoying as hell. I just got a new laptop and this is my first time using/working with Windows 11 and it was obscene getting bombarded by all these f**king ads!
Short and to the point, I like that.
Nice tutorial. I hate stuff that just happens. Strikes me that more and more often these days we're getting paid for products that contain advertising.
Thanks for this Brett 💯💯💯 although would love if you could do more on the default browser and notepad cheers

I still use Windows 7
I bought a new motherboard. Will not run win 7 properly. MSI.
ads in operating systems should be banned completely, its a huge annoyance
thank you sir i usually do this my self but windows has made it almost impossible to find all this garbage these days.😁
Well I would like to know is how to delete the code that allows Windows 11 to apply ads so it does not contain any of the software that brings ads to the operating system
Thank you so much!!!🙏🏾

Thank you so much it actually helped
Brett, Thanks for posting this video.
Good tutorial, Many thanks, Good job 😇👍

Unfortunately the answer is no. MS is extremely persistent in trying to get people to switch to Edge.
@@BrettInTech As I feared. Thanks for the reply. And for all the good stuff you put out there.
It seems they are desperate to get people to use the browser.@@BrettInTech
@@martintolley9234
Well there is a way
Google Chris Titus tool.
It can get rid of edge all together
Thanks so much for this quick and helpful video
5 Thumbs up. What are the odds the new ads in the notifications will continue anyway?
Very much appreciated! Now to find out how to stop Dell's crap from bugging me too.
Great Video, thank you for putting this together !
Thanks bro...
Thank you very much. I absolutely hate Windows11.
Yet another informative & useful video. Thanks Brett! 👍👍
Excellent Excellent Excellent
You are doing God's work, sir. Thank you! o7
Great video! I have done all that.

They are puting ads everywhere. In your mail box, in your file explorer, in your music app, they will soon find a way to put ads in your dreams !!!!
thanks!
Fug yeah Brett! Another helpful video for the boys
It's absolutely disgusting for MS to put ads in a product I already paid for. The greed knows no bounds.
when i open pdf with edge, there is an adobe acrobat water mark, how to get rid of that?
My favorite Windows operating system is Windows XP and Windows 7 I'm okay with Windows 10 but I prefer Windows 7
Great video. Thank you for this topic.
Nice video. Family, culture, and beautiful nature all for us to appreciate.
I've never seen ads. My issue is not being able to put the taskbar at the top without a third-party utility and now having to verify opening a link from my Favorites menu ever since the latest update. Who in their infinite wisdom decided this was the best way for Windows to function?! 😠
can you tell me how to block adds on i phone

Step 1: Switch to Linux :)........................... sorry couldn't resist :).
🤣🤣🤣
I was about comment it 😂
Yeah...sorry. some of us like full support for gaming :)
I was gonna say this. I'm proud of all of you .
Its not for everyone, don’t forget that
How to resolve issue with Task Manager's 100% Disk Usage on Windows 11?
Useful trick.
tyfs😀
Thanks
Does any of these work on Windows 10?
Yes
I have the perfect solution to ads in a product that I BOUGHT AND PAID FOR... Linux
Doesn't these settings reset with an update?
Never watched your channel before, nice videography, nice oration and scripting and easy to follow instructions.
Simple solution if you hate this downgrade back to Windows 10 and install Adguard.
Windows 11 has ads? Guess it's Linux only after I can't keep 10 any more.
Around 3:20 System notifications sort by apps- every dang one of them are locked as I cannot turn them off!!! Problem- I uninstalled onedrive and am STILL getting a popup each time of get on my pc to back up my files. HOW DO I STOP IT?????? I have gone thru every step I can find on disabling notifications and this one will not stop. I hate Microsoft.
wait... file explorer has ads?...
Lets put it this way. I am sticking to 10 for now and I am learning Linux.
Always install world english version of windows and you will never see any ads or crappy tiktok software in the first place
Wait, there are advertising inside Windows 11?
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Holy geez. Then this is the last Microsoft product
I disabled all ads, I switched to Linux
Sorry windows The Church of Neckbeards already converted me to the dark side of linux
Linux Mint doesn't have this problem...
im on the verge of ditching windows for linux
Just installed Linux forget dealing with all the B.S that Windows Operating system gives you these day's and it's all useless 😑
I bypassed all of this by stubbornly refusing to "upgrade" from Windows 7.
Using windows 10 is an absolute pain and it appears that Windows 11 is eager to be an even bigger harassment.
or just go back to windows 10. windows 11 has no real added value. just lots of extra annoyances.
Which makes macbook look better than theirs own service
Bro any advice on how I can activate my windows 11 for free?
Window 11 having issues due to security issues
I'm downloading preview inside window 11
Tesla is next!
👍
👍👍👍
I will rather watch an ad for a laptop than for feminine pads or hemorrhoids cream 😂😂😂😂😂

Everything about Microsoft is very annoying. Dislike immensely !!

Not accept this way, I want to remove this trash things from Windows 11
