Om Windows 10 you have the option to turn off showing news about new features. I guess it would cover this. Try Google it.

I don't know what people are doing in Windows to get all these ads. I've never seen a single one.
All of this stuff is A/B tested, region/locale divided, edition divided, hardware divided, based on what other stuff you've agreed to and more. You don't have to do anything to encounter this stuff.
Are you in the USA? I learnt that most of these ads are shown to US users.
DoNotSpy is a tool that can disable all the Win10-11 bloatware.
Just install Debnyan. >:3c
I freaked out yesterday when I got this pop up too. Like, okay, I heard about ads in Windows 11, but stay the fuck out of my 10.
But I actually prefer Bing over Google nowadays...
Also, at least they pay me for my data.

Bing has honestly been a lot better for me than google. I refused to use it for so long because it was just a joke when it first came out. But I started not being able to find any decent search results on google and the entire first page is now ads versus just the first few results. Bing also has an AI thing that will just give you a straight answer to a question and links to where it found it. I'd say to give it a try.
Found the Microsoft employee
People can't just enjoy a thing without being a shill or an employee now?
I switched to Bing a few months ago and really like it. It does suck how much Microsoft shoves their shit in your face tho.

Click Yes ;) Or don't use windows
Ok , first switch to Linux. Wait wait here me out :)
Do a dual boot system and switch in between until your ready to move.
Your windows install should be windows ameliorated , i.e windows AME.
This removes everything from Windows , included updates. Can't use latest office and unsure about gaming issues. I got it since I had one corp software I was forced to use.
Only way to actually stop windows shit.
You could try clicking Yes once, and then immediately switching it back, either to DuckDuckGo or Google.
Perhaps use redirect scripts or plugins or apps. Windows often about registry so do try that.
