  2. Microsoft Ad Choices


    Yeah, I thought at first it was a new ad campaign until I went back to a Windows 7 PC and then
    a Windows 8 and realized there were no ads.

    picresize.com is the site.

    Under Windows 7 or Windows 8 there are no ads.

    Only under Windows 10.

    I have reads many many websites on how to delete "Ad Choices" and according to everything I have read and downloaded to try to clean it or find it, Ad Choices is NOT installed on my computer. Then, I found a posting suggesting it was Microsoft's Ad Choices. This is why I cannot clean it off.

    If it were ads from the website, they would be there no matter what what OS I was on. Wouldn't you agree?

    Hi there. Not sure what's going on. I just got home and checked this out. I'm going to boot to my 8.1. In the mean time, click on the little icon left of the closeout X on the ad. It's a Google ad. I'll be back.

    Microsoft Ad Choices


    No, that did not help at all. If you read all of the posts here someone already suggested this.

    This does NOT disable Ad Choices. I don't want them. They are annoying on most websites but on
    one particular site that I use quite often the ads pop out of the left side of screen scooting the entire
    page to the right. I cannot work on what I need to work on so I have to stop, close the idiot ad, then
    wait for the website to go back to normal. On the next record I go through the same routine again.
    It doubles the time I spend on the site compared to a Windows 7 or Windows 8 PC that does not have
    this problem.

    Again, I classify Windows 10 as Adware. It is not FREE.
