According to the site How-To Geek, some Windows 10 users were surprised to see appear an advertising image for the game Rise of the Tomb Raider during system startup. This publicity is generated by Customize function “ to a Windows ” (Windows Spotlight English) where the system itself chooses the photo to display on the lock screen. But this feature is accompanied by application recommendations, particularly the new games offered in the Windows Store.

Fortunately, these ads are deactivated rather easily. In Windows settings 10, the personalization icon will open the lock screen settings. It must then proceed in two steps: replace choice “Windows on a” per picture or slideshow. Then you have to think disable the “Customize the lock screen, especially with anecdotes and tips”

another solution is to eliminate advertising images in each case. Accessible icon at the top right of the screen to tell the system if the displayed image is part of his interests or not.

From the pub as the Start menu

This is not the first time that advertising appears in Windows 10. the Start menu was also a victim of the arrival of a line of “suggestion” with commercial ads, fortunately easy to remove with a single mouse click or right through the settings.

the ads are certainly bothersome but concern only Windows Store apps … for now
