Maybe M$ is nagging you with it if your hardware isn't officially supported...

I haven't gotten ads in Explorer, but:
1-I'm not in the US, so it might be that ads are targeted geographically
2-I already have a 365 subscription linked to my account, so not much else they can sell me.

It was not what you would typically describe as an advert, it downloaded tik tok as a app to use, I don't know if it was fully installed, I have no account or use for tik tok, it got removed sharpish.

I'm in the UK, on a standard not messed with 11 install.

Hi,
Yeah tiktok juvenile bs :laugh:

I'm guessing you have to be sign in for the Ads but nevertheless I haven't seen any either. Would the explorer patch remove them as well?

It's not a commercial run or banner, or typical advert it just pre loads some apps, check your app list, see what is there.

ThrashZone · Aug 7, 2022

Hi,
New apps come from a couple setting
If you have office and get updates for other products this also installs new apps checking for updates.

It's easy to open office and have it check for updates.

Count von Schwalbe · Aug 7, 2022

W10 has these too. Spotify, for example, would show up in start menu but not install until you tried to open it.

Ah, that happens to me when I log into the system for the first time, right after the install. It's normal. Once removed they don't show up again and you don't get more of those ever. At least I never did, even after years of not doing a clean install.

Well I would say I have cleared it out before and then this turned up, I tend to check because random ass RGB software also continuously gets installed.

That works too. I like WinAeroTweaker as it has a ton of functions all wrapped up in one utility.

You may not have triggered the ads and unwanted apps functionality yet.

That's a good rule of thumb, one which I follow. Got a lot of .reg files that I run on each install. However, I do keep a very short list of utilities to use regularly, WinAeroTweaker is one of them.

As many people know, I am very careful(some have called me paranoid) about what I run on my systems. I don't run anything until it's been vetted on an isolated test system for deep observation. So for me to promote a utility means that it has been put through my unique brand of security testing and has been found worthy, or at the very least, harmless.

So when I recommend things, you can count on me having tested it extensively and have good faith that such will do no harm.

Yup this is it - they're just shortcuts until you click it

With fast enough internet you might not even notice it wasnt actually installed

These seem like full installs:
(To be fair, paint actually is installed)

I leave Paint because it can be useful. The other three along with a bunch of other crap gets removed.

Rock N Roll Rebel · Aug 17, 2022

been a long time I'm on the beta program and windows 11 v22622.575 maybe there will be an update today I don't know. I've been trying to fix Winget for several days now I did a dumb thing when it came up with the license agreement I thought it was something else trying to install didn't really read it and said no that messed it up couldn't get it to work for days even uninstalled it and reinstalled it from the store didn't work then I went to GitHub and downloaded it and ran it and it asked if I wanted to reinstall I said yes and now working good one thing to everyone else who wants to try it if you don't accept the license it breaks it and you have to reinstall it to fix I learn the hard way lol

Windows have always put bloat ware on their installations, it doesnt bother me as the first thing i do on any new install is remove everything I or my customers dont want.

Just had this happening to me after a W10 update this week , spotify showing up on the taskbar :confused:

It seems I have a MS app-installation app running in the background , while I have only the security app enabled to run in the background.

Oh , Windows android app support came to my country , that's why: Windows 11 Android Apps Support comes to 31 countries

Also noticed some changes by MS to my live account , and getting ads and spam mails all of a sudden on my android phone. Damn you MS.
