I installed windows 10 on my brothers PC for him the other day after a catastrophically corrupted prior install. I saw seven ads by my count.
Ones for Spotify, onedrive, office 365, several for gamepass.
Windows acting like oldschool viruses, giving random ad pop-ups ๐
Did you install an official version? I've never seen those.
Yes Sir, straight from the windows media creator tool
