These promotional elements are now everywhere, including, in the Start menu, Windows Search, Settings app, Lock screen, Widgets, File Explorer, Microsoft Edge<\/a>, and the list could go on.<\/p>\n

If you are at the top of frustration with the number of ads across the desktop and apps, Windows 11<\/a> includes settings to disable and remove most advertisements. You only need to know where to find the settings and how to get around those features that can’t be removed easily.<\/p>\n
