Is Windows Showing You Advertisements? Learn How to Disable Them Here...

The Windows 11 Start Menu will soon have ADVERTS Thanks to Microsoft - Here's How to Disable Them

The latest Windows 11 update will add adverts for apps launched from the start menu. From Netflix to Amazon Prime, more and more online services are now beginning to fill up with these pesky promotions - and now Windows users won't even be able to open their own internet browsers before seeing adverts, because Microsoft will soon begin pushing adverts into the start menu of Windows 11, with the inclusion of 'recommended' apps. On social media, Windows users have been expressing their outrage at the decision to include ads in an operating system that they have already paid £119.99 ($139) to access. Luckily, these advertisements can be disabled easily with a simple settings change, as detailed below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Disable Advertisements from Appearing in the Windows 11 Start Menu

Windows users who have installed the update KB5036980 will see 'suggestions for new apps' in their start menu. Follow the steps below to disable them:

1. Go the the Windows search menu and enter ‘Settings’, then click it to go to your Windows Settings.

2. Click ‘Personalization’.

3. Click ‘Start’.

You will see a toggle labeled 'Show recommendations for tips, app promotions, and more'.

4. Disable this option to permanently remove adverts from your start menu.

We have hundreds of knowledgebase support articles to help you use our products and solve many support issues right now! For example ...

Many users perhaps don't realize just how much help there is available directly from these web site page - for example...

Our 'Knowledge Base' (KB) articles are designed to help you get up and running as quickly as possible and resolve hundreds of simple problems and answer questions you may have right now - rather than have to wait for a reply from one of our support team members (speedy and reliable though they are !)
For example - if you have recently had a problem on your system and had to reinstall Windows, or have simply replaced your hardware, you will need to 'deregister' your license on that old installation/hardware. Doing so will ensure that your license is disabled on the previous installation, and available for use on your new hardware. You may have thought this was not be possible if you no longer have that hardware - but it is!
Further information on how to do this is available here.

Also - please rest assured that our support remains 100% free to all our users - whether they have paid for our products or use one of the free versions that we have always made available from our early days (and continue to do). Clients using our free versions are important to us as they provide valuable feedback on features/shortcomings, and we pay equal attention to all of our users - irrespective of the size of the client or their investment with us.

For some time in Europe we have been known as 'PDF-XChange Co Ltd' and we are beginning the process of changing our identity both online and offline to 'PDF-XChange' worldwide - which is our most successful product line and brand and we will progressively retire our original name and branding of the past 26 years or so from 'Tracker Software Products ...' to 'PDF-XChange Co Ltd' which as many of you will know is the parent company of Tracker Software Products (Canada) Ltd and has been for some years. 

From the 26th of October if you try to reach our web site using any old links or bookmarks etc - you will be redirected to the master domain and web site - https://www.pdf-xchange.com and any emails sent to our current email server will be redirected to the same contact using the correct new email domain - for example ;
support@tracker-software.com will be redirected to support@pdf-xchange.com.
sales@tracker-software.com will be redirected to sales@pdf-xchange.com.
Etc.

Please update your contacts info and bookmarks as soon as convenient - in the case of email addresses - these will function now if used. Should you have any issues - please do let us know and we will do our best to assist in a timely manner as always.

Thank you.
