Windows 10 users will now be greeted with an unremovable advertisement in one of the operating system’s native apps.<\/p>\n
Softpedia reported<\/strong><\/a> that the ad appears in the left sidebar of Windows 10’s Mail app for desktop and there is no way to hide it.<\/p>\n The banner was previously only seen in Insider builds of the operating system but has now been rolled out across consumer versions of the OS.<\/p>\n The ad contains only text, which reads “Get the free Outlook app on your phone”.<\/p>\n Clicking on it directs users to a website<\/strong><\/a> where they can download and install the Outlook mobile app.<\/p>\n Softpedia noted that the advert shows up even if the app has been installed on a device with the linked email account used.<\/p>\n The ad reportedly appears to users who have synced their Exchange, Gmail, and Outlook accounts to the desktop Mail app.<\/p>\n Microsoft confirmed that the ad cannot be removed and asked users to provide feedback on its inclusion.<\/p>\n “The ads within the app itself will be displayed regardless of which email address you use it with. It is not removable, but you can submit it as a suggestion within the Feedback Hub on Windows 10 here:\u00a0https:\/\/msft.it\/6012TVPXG<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d Microsoft said.<\/p>\n Windows 10 users will now be greeted with an unremovable advertisement in one of the operating system’s native apps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341042,"featured_media":209084,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[15243,41880,123,26970],"class_list":["post-332980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","tag-ads","tag-advertisements","tag-microsoft","tag-windows-10"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332980"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341042"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332980"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332980\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":332992,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332980\/revisions\/332992"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}No way to remove<\/h3>\n
