For anyone wondering, there are tools out there that will help you debloat Windows 10 and 11 and remove things like these obnoxious ads in the Start Menu. I did this last year on Windows 11 and even after countless updates, the debloating has remained. The tool I used also had an option to permanently “pause” Windows Updates too.
It’s terrible what Microsoft has done to the OS, overall, but for those of us who have to use it (and have control over the computer), we have this as an option to make the experience a little better, at least.
I can’t remember the exact tool I used but I highly recommend it for anyone dealing with this.
I recently switched to Windows 10 LTSC (from Windows 10). Would recommend that as well to people looking to avoid Windows 11.
I’m not if it’s really any easier to find and install than the other debloat methods out there, but I thought it was pretty simple.

There’s so many tools to do it, too. It’s kind of upsetting how many independent devs are investing their time towards removing this garbage instead of literally anything else.

It’s double up too. Someone made it, and then someone unmade it
