Took 2 seconds to Google this. Don't quite remember if this is the setting I flipped ages ago to disable it on both my home and work PCs but I don't get this spam and did something that was essentially this simple to do to get it that way.

This disables a small subset of notifications you might get using Win10/11 that are tips about using Win10/11. It absolutely does not 'banish ads from notifications'. You will still get ads in the notification center almost as frequently after performing this action, including from Microsoft, including about Windows.

But they don't stay disabled though, do they? That's what others have said.

As I said:

Ii have not once ever experienced this or any other setting reverting to something else across 5 different win10 devices

Fuck Windows, it sucks in so many ways, but idk what some of these people are doing to have settings change behind their backs like they claim happens.
