The latest Windows 11 update will add adverts for apps to the Start Menu !

From Netflix to Amazon Prime, more and more online services are now beginning to fill up with pesky promotions.
But now Windows users won't even be able to open their internet browser before seeing adverts.
Microsoft will soon begin pushing adverts into the Start Menu of Windows 11 with the inclusion of 'recommended' apps.
On social media, Windows users have been outraged by the decision to include ads in the operating system they have already paid £119.99 ($139) to access.
Luckily, there is an easy way to turn off the pesky adverts with a simple change to your device settings.
