ollyyllo Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) If you didn't already know, Windows 10 is now pushing ads to File Explorer http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/9/14872464/windows-10-onedrive-ads-inside-file-explorer I am running Windows 10 Pro 1607 build 14393.693, and I have now started to see these ads They are very infrequent at the moment, but I decide to test the following reg fix, and it seems to be working. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/59897-hide-show-file-explorer-sync-provider-notifications-windows-10-a.html Edit: Obviously disabling Consumer Experience doesn't work on Pro anymore, does anyone know if disabling Consumer Experience on Education/Enterprise stops these ads?

mavhc Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 1. Do reg fixes sent by GPP work? Startup script if not? Is there a list of them all? 2. You can manually disable the ads https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/106643/windows-10-tip-turn-off-lock-screen-start-action-center-advertising 3. I guess if you pay a subscription to use Enterprise/Education then you don't get ads, if not you're paying a subscription by seeing ads.

Michael Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 It's from build 14901 you'll see ads. I'd go down the GPP route which works on any domain connected PC, if a GPO wasn't available, but I am running Windows Edu throughout.

ollyyllo Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 1. Do reg fixes sent by GPP work? Startup script if not? Is there a list of them all? This reg fix and the ones to disable spotlight work. I do those two and also unprovison all packages and I dont see any ads or app suggestions. But I cant disable Consumer Experiences or the Lock screen using their respective policies or reg edits.

Michael Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Consumer Experiences GPO does work on Edu/Ent though.

ollyyllo Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 But if you don't enable the policy, do you still get these File Explorer Ads, will Edu\Ent customers need to apply the reg fix on top of the Comsumer Experiences GPO?

I removed all the provisioned apps in pro, but non provisioned ones installed for all users automatically keep appearing, looks like I'll need a script that's run on every boot.

Did you run both Remove-AppxPackage and Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage for each app? I also change the default start layout. I think the default start layout will re-populate your new user logins with apps that were on those tiles if you dont change it. There are a few ways to do it but I use this Customizing the Windows 10 Start Menu and add IE Shortcut during OSD - CCMEXEC.COM – System Center blog Edited March 13, 2017 by ollyyllo
