mccI don't understand how Windows 10 is discontinued yet Microsoft still finds ways to add new types of advertisements to it
The experience of using Windows 10 is that you walk away from the computer to watch something on TV and when you come back the OS has quit out of all your work applications so it can reboot the computer so it can stuff advertisements (in this case "weather"; apparently news and stock quotes are a kind of weather) into a new place on your computer (in this case the lock screen; I already had one type of advertisements disabled on the lock screen, so they added a second type)
Microsoft: So you've disabled the advertisements for Microsoft products we put on the lock screen.
Me: Yes
Microsoft: And you've disabled the weather widget in the start bar.
Me: Yes.
Microsoft: So you don't want notices on the start screen OR weather.
Me: Correct
Microsoft: Well good news this is start screen notices AND weather. You never said you didn't want them TOGETHER.
Me: Can I disable it
Microsoft: Sure, if you can solve this Rubik's cube
sarahjanepoppy@mcc this is my dream but I have neither the skills or knowledge to actually stop all this distraction. Still getting loads of news bulletins but only from one source 🫣
