First of all, tips will automatically get enabled during some updates.
Secondly, tips notifictions telling you to use microsoft crap are not the only ads. You get fullscreen ads for office after booting that are made to look exactly like an installer, you get edge literally spamming you with popups when you try downloading another browser (that's closer to malware than an ad but I'll let it count).
You get ads in the settings menu as well and if you try to edit a video like you could on windows 7, you get the "fuck you, pay a subscription".
You also get ads in your start menu and of course, don't forget the start menu search that will rather show you a bing page full of ads than actually search for your files.
Please stop defending this bullshit, it benefits no one but microsoft and is actively making the world a worse place.
