I wonder whether Microsoft makes enough money on analytics and ads worldwide, minus Europe, to split off a separate dev team. I hope not, but I think they do… Please choose the easier, objectively better option and just make these a checkbox for everyone, windows.

Microsoft will let users uninstall Edge, Bing, and disable ads on Windows 11 as it complies with the Digital Markets Act

Just in time for Windows 10 going out of support. I guess the next time Windows nags my wife about updating to 11 I can tell her to go ahead.
I wish Apple would let me uninstall Apple Music and stop media keys opening it by default.

I always hear people complaining about ads on their win 11 and it confuses me, as I've never seen a single ad in my win 11 install.
In what section are the ads showing up?
