Click bait avoided, a prerelease build of Windows suggests some kind of general advertising in the start menu beyond promoting ads.

Sounds like we need to start developing ad-blockers based directly within the OS.

Those exist. Use dns based adblockers. You can pick from a variety of services already out there or run your own with pihole.

Yeah, though ... those don't always work and it is entirely possible to break them if they become overly "pesky" for the corporations.
