not sure where all those ads are here unless you mean the search queries on the web??

No one needs search queries from the web in their start menu. If I want to search the web I'll use a web browser.

it's not the start menu it's specifically when you press the search button and start typing.

When I press the winkey and search (which is the most efficient way to search the start menu) I get web search shit in the results. This is not desirable.

Are you on an enterprise subscription / office 365 work or school account or something like that?

I don't have the pc with me anymore, but I will try to find a screenshot that was circulating around with a ton of ads, which was my experience as well.
