I own a consumer version (home) and I've never once seen an ad. They did turn on copilot once, but I disabled it in less than a minute and I've never seen it since.

This said, windows 11 just sucks compared to 10. They moved the start bar to the center to copy Mac (I moved that back ages ago, though). They also stripped all the great start menu tiles away, so it's just kind of... barren now.

I just don't see any significant way 11 is better than 10. That's why it sucks.

Edit: Wait since when can you get a subscription to windows? The pro version of 11 is a one time fee of $5-10 if you buy a key online. It's dirt cheap.

There's so many things that are ads it's impossible to keep track. I usually use this software to modify all the crap in Windows. https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

Really? I'm on Win10 and constantly get notifications in the bottom right about adobe products and stuff
