Not so long ago, we informed you that we would start seeing Bing ads inside Windows 10, Windows 8.1’s smart search function. This might account for one of the reasons why users are looking touninstall Windows 10, 8.1 and revert to Windows 8. If the annoyingBingadvertising is the single thing that bothers you withWindows 10, Windows 8.1, then maybe you just need to learn how to block ads from being displayed once and for all.
I, for one, am not a big fan of these ads, actually, I quite hate them. Their placement is ridiculous and definitely doesn’t enrich my experience of using Windows 8. But we are lucky, as with only a few basic steps, we can easilyturn off the Bing adsthat Microsoft is going to make permanent in the stable Windows 8.1,Windows 10release.
How to switch off Bing ads in Windows 10
First of all, I might say that if you are not living in an English speaking country, then most of the ads are simply useless and totally irrelevant. What good can do to me a BestBuy advertisement if I’m living in Europe? I’m not saying that Google’s advertising services are very accurate, but so far, in my personal experience,Bingads relevancy is close to inexistent.
Therefore, follow these easy steps to disableBingads inWindows 10, Windows 8.1, even before it reaches its final version or, depending on when you are reading this, it might have already been launched.
However, depending on what build version ofWindows 10, Windows 8.1 you might be using, this might not always work, so you can also trying by typing directly in the Search charm – “search and apps” and from there follow the above line.
Install an adblocker
Another quick solution to limit or block ads while browsing is to download and install an adblocker. There are various ad blocking extensions available for all the majorbrowsersout there. For example, if you’re using Google Chrome, you can head over to theChrome Web Storeand install the ad blocker extension that best suits your needs. If Microsoft Edge is yourbrowserof choice, then you can install theAdGuard ad blocker.
