    You shouldn’t have to, but it’s also something that you only have to do once and takes less than 30 seconds.

    It’s a minor annoyance but people act like microsoft crashed an suv into their living room and killed their cat.

      It does not take 30 seconds, it takes up to five minutes. Some of these changes also get reverted with specific updates and suddenly you’re seeing ads again.

        I’ve never had this change reverted in an update.

        And it does not take 5 minutes, I can do it in less than 30 seconds. It’s a single key in the registry.

          Thats the tailored experiences, common users dont have the knowledge to safely edit registry keys. Thats a bullshit excuse to hide ads there and you know it. Stop defending shitty practices.

            i’m not defending it. literally the first thing i said was that users shouldn’t have to do this.

            and it’s not the tailored experiences, i’m talking about the “feature” that puts web results in the start menu search.

            all i did was add some nuance to the conversation and you’re crucifying me over it because i didn’t pile on the circlejerk.
