isn't the windows search bar a giant always on ad for edge and Bing?
also windows advertises a lot of their cloud/subscription services in notifications and settings to me
I suppose - I always disable it as part of my initial setup steps, I have actually never used it.
I've only seen shilling for 360 in the account panel, though. Never in the notification tray.
You can turn that off
yeah, through registry keys
no normal user is going to do that
Registry is just the settings panel in windows now
But the normal user can download random programs off the internet to do it for them
bloat at best, virus at worst
regedit isn't hard enough to justify a registry editor app
We are talking about normal users
The ones whom in yesteryear would have half their browser be toolbars
