Privacy setting in window 10 has amazing features. If you
properly set you privacy setting it will save you from annoying things like
ads.
Sometime ads are pop
up when you are playing games, or watching movies, using some other apps. So to
close them press “window + i” shortcut open the setting. Now go to privacy
where first you see general setting.
In general setting first option is “let apps use my
advertising ID for experiences across apps”. If you keep it on you have to
watch some irrelevant ads while using some apps like playing games. If you
don’t want to see the ads just off this option. This is one way to closing
annoying ads.
