This popped up on my work laptop yesterday. Very annoying.

        PEBKAC

        Sticking your head in that sand, I’m sure it’ll work out for you, eventually.

          Not sure what point you are trying to make here.

          I’m not having any computer problems.

            Not sure what point you are trying to make here.

            You’re not acknowledging the issue of close source OS’s that nag you with unwanted notifications.

              Why would I acknowledge an issue that doesn’t exist for me?

              You are barking up the wrong tree here bud. I use the right tool for the job, for me that means windows for my personal machine, Linux for work or special purpose machines. And Mac to write code.

      If there is an option to turn it off, I haven’t found it. It certainly isn’t obvious.

      Apparently that makes me a complete idiot according to the person you’re talking to.

      I apologize for being too stupid to know every way to configure Windows 10, an OS I rarely use.

        As far as I know, it doesn’t exist. But I’m more than willing to be proven wrong and have someone tell us exactly how it’s done.

          Took 2 seconds to Google this. Don’t quite remember if this is the setting I flipped ages ago to disable it on both my home and work PCs but I don’t get this spam and did something that was essentially this simple to do to get it that way.

            This disables a small subset of notifications you might get using Win10/11 that are tips about using Win10/11. It absolutely does not ‘banish ads from notifications’. You will still get ads in the notification center almost as frequently after performing this action, including from Microsoft, including about Windows.

              As I said:

              I flipped ages ago to disable it on both my home and work PCs but I don’t get this spam

              Ii have not once ever experienced this or any other setting reverting to something else across 5 different win10 devices

              Fuck Windows, it sucks in so many ways, but idk what some of these people are doing to have settings change behind their backs like they claim happens.
