Useless Windows 10 Features

At work, I have been using Windows 10 Pro for a couple of months now after sticking with Windows 7 for as long as I could. I cannot remember seeing any ads so far.

When switching default browser, it will ask you one more time if you really don't want to use Edge.

Gaming ads will be seen in the start menu.

Ads for Onedrive will be seen in file explorer.

If you ever start skype, don't be expected to be able to log off or even shut the app down unless you kill the process or uninstall it entirely.

With every update, it will ask you again to put tracking on, making the ads be more vigilant.

Just a few of the stuff I find incredible annoying with ads in Windows 10.

Thanks Krylon--it sounded strange to me, hence the question.

They're probably turned off with Group Policy.
