That sounds horrible… I’ve never seen these, though. I don’t use anything special so far as I know. I’m on Windows 10 on one computer I run all day, and Windows 11 for the one I use all evening.

Assuming you’re not making this up, could Microsoft be rolling these out only to specific individuals for a trial run, or something? I don’t even have Windows Pro…

Or… actually… I built my computer from the ground up. Did you buy yours from HP, Dell, or another manufacturer? Could THEY be putting ads into their updates somehow?
