Windows 11 has been a topic of discussion recently due to the ads and suggestions that users find annoying. However, a third-party app known as Winpilot, previously called Bloatynosy, can assist users in removing all ads and suggestions integrated into the Windows 11 operating system interface. The app developer has designed Winpilot to simplify the removal of all artificial intelligence (AI) features in Windows.
With the latest release of Winpilot, version 2024.5.5, a new “Adblock” section has been introduced, which is specifically designed to remove ads from the Windows 11 user interface. The app offers toggles to disable ads in the Start menu and personalized advertising.
Microsoft has recently increased its efforts to integrate advertising into the Start menu, which has frustrated many users. This has been affecting the market share of Windows 11, which has decreased recently. Although Microsoft does offer native settings to disable ads and personalization, third-party apps like Winpilot offer a more convenient solution by consolidating all known Windows 11 ads into one single interface for easy access.
It is important to note that Microsoft appears to be doubling down on its ad display efforts and actively promoting AI features to Windows users, regardless of their preferences. Hence, third-party applications like Winpilot may soon be blocked by the company. The developer of Winpilot has also created other apps aimed at enhancing the Windows experience and user privacy, removing unwanted applications, and disabling Copilot.
