I don't know what people are doing in Windows to get all these ads. I've never seen a single one.
All of this stuff is A/B tested, region/locale divided, edition divided, hardware divided, based on what other stuff you've agreed to and more. You don't have to do anything to encounter this stuff.
Are you in the USA? I learnt that most of these ads are shown to US users.
