    Microsoft ads invade Windows 10's File Explorer


    I got it on a local account, only on the one PC though, which I had just done a clean install on. No sign on the other two PC's however I've disabled it anyway. Note: I'm in the UK so obviously not immune ;o)

    I only use a local account on all my computers. This is what I get the first time I do a "File" > "Save as" in an Office program.

    Edit: I get the same message when I try to do a "Save as" in my text editor software (UltraEdit)

    I think MS needs to take it down a couple notches!

    Jeebus! The Internet is viral with users complaining about MS's 'Ad Campaign'!
    Maybe not a smart move.

    So "Farcebook" and "Twatter" can be used for good. *Eek

    I haven't noticed any in my W10 IP (Pro) VMs.

    I haven't seen any in W10 Home either, but I only turn my laptop on for updates.

    Microsoft ads invade Windows 10's File Explorer

    I have not seen any adds (yet), but then again I'm only have 3/4 of Windows 10 Pro as Cortana is not available in my region (Denmark).

    MS has created a cottage industry to shut down MS telemetry and various information sharing. Looks like there will soon be a handful of a new class of programs dedicated to shutting down MS ads.

    In the 'old' days the prize was defeating Windows activation... now it's defeating adware...it's the ongoing MS vs the antagonists paradigm.. it's much the same really (just not pirating)... i.e. a change in monetization. Makes things interesting though.. Game on?

    Haha ... Ironic!


    I believe what MS REALLY wants is a subscription service. They must be very careful how they transition to it, but I think it's their long game.

    Please don't post articles that require a subscription to read. $64 to read articles on one site is a ripoff.
