How to get Rid of Ads in your Windows10 Start Menu

The new Windows 10 allows Microsoft to putt ads in your Start menu. However, you can get rid of them yourself.
Here is a quick fix.

Your Start menu could contain not-so-helpful “suggestions” from Windows. If you’re running Windows 10 with default settings, you would have probably noticed apps creeping into the right (tile) side of your Start menu (apps you didn’t put there). Clicking on these “apps” opens up the Store, where you can purchase and download them. 

Microsoft calls them “suggestions,” but they are actually just ads.

Fix it like this

Open Settings and go to Personalization > Start. You will see several toggles, but the second one should say “Occasionally show suggestions in Start.” Turn this toggle to Off and close the Settings menu.

That’s all you have to do! No more Start menu ads for you!
