Have you noticed those annoying ads for Windows products
while you look for files? They might just be small pop-ups for
things like Office 365 subscriptions or Skype credits, but they
annoy the heck out of me.
You can turn them off
by following these steps:
Launch File Explorer and the click View > Options > Change
folder and search options.
In the Folder Options dialog that pops up, select the View tab.
In the Advanced Settings box, scroll down and uncheck the option
labeled “Show sync provider notifications.” Hit OK.
Done, ads gone.
There are also ads on
the Start Screen. Some of these can be turned off by opening
Windows 10 Settings app, go to Personalization, and click the
Start tab. From there, switch off “Occasionally Show Suggestions
in Start”. You are welcome.
