  • 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.

          • Yes I am. Saying "its not that bad, it only takes thirty seconds" is literally defending shoving ads down our throats and making them hard to remove. That way of thinking deserves to be crucified. Ads have no place living on an OS.

            • There you go again being an overly aggressive shit rather than trying to have a nuanced conversation.

              • Because its fucking mind boggling people would ever even provide an excuse for this. Why? Even if it did take thirty seconds, why? I would still curse it.

                • I didn't excuse it, I said there is an easy workaround. All this black and white thinking just makes people angry.
