This sort of tackiness in Windows 10 is one of the primary reasons I've switched back to macOS.
Windows 10 is a great OS in many respects, and I like the hardware story more than in Apple world, but I just can't get over Microsoft's need to invade my workspace with tacky, distracting, irrelevant ads.
The first time I saw a "Candy Crush" ad in the Start menu (of Windows 10 Professional, not Home), I hoped Microsoft would get enough negative feedback to see the error of their ways.
But it seems like they're going the wrong direction.
And yes, I'm aware of the LTSC version of Windows 10. I have no way to install it legally.
