I'd be surprised if that turned out to be the case, but I've never used EU Windows 11. Is it a special no-ads version?
Windows 10 definitely has ads - I recall seeing something pushing the Xbox on the lock screen a while back. That counts IMO.
Yeah there's been loads of threads with surprised Europeans when it comes to Windows ads, because we just don't get them.
... That is not true. We get app recommendations in the home screen and we get a "news" panel. Those are ads. You can't disable the recommended apps thing either. Recommended by who? The top payer? Fuck off.
? I quite literally don't have this. So either I disabled it or it wasn't there. I don't remember it anyway and I can't see it now either.
