What you need to know
In the last six months, Microsoft has ramped up how and where it tries to advertise apps and services to you. The company is already bringing more of MSN to the Windows 10 and Windows 11 lock screen, the Widgets panel is a glorified advertisement board, and the Settings app now wastes no time trying to get you to subscribe to Microsoft 365. I wonder if they'll make it difficult to completely remove and/or if it is network based, block the associated IPs/ports so the ads can't load. --- The name is wackyteen for a reason.

Windows just comes with Candy Crush for some reason.i mean for some of those, you'll click it and it will download it then and there. if you want to remove the link, you cant "uninstall it" cause its basically a shortcut which downloads it from the microsoft store, you can remove the link though. so in essence its an ad i havent used windows 11 home before, only ever the pro edition and i do clean installs so I don't get stuff like candy crush ...
