Windows 11 comes in many flavors. But mostly Enterprise and consumer (Home, and Pro). If you have Enterprise your company pays a subscription for the ability to control and mostly to turn off most of the bullshit telemetry and ads. Consumer versions are pretty much just ad supported OSs. Yep, even if you paid for it. Ads are everywhere.

I work on IT support and all of our clients use enterprise. It's not just the Ads.
Microsoft has slowly been dumbing down it's apps and the OS. Removing features that where good for office users.
Access to settings is a joke. It's a bad OS. I fell like they've gone backwards, again.
My pet peeve right now is why can't the taskbar be placed on the sides? It had that functionality before.
