The very first results from DuckDuckGo and Google show how to turn this off. For end users, it's literally in the built in settings. Group Policy is just nice for enterprise. I think you are all making a huge deal over nothing.
This is why it takes so long to hire a decent group of people. It takes hundreds of hours to weed out people that would rather complain than find a solution, which is most of you, as you can see in this example.
Yes, it's trivial to change. And no, a random average user will not cross the "this is a Googlable problem with a solution" realisation stage. This is not a problem for anyone reading this, but every normie I know uses stock settings on windows and no ad blocker. I occasionally get to respond to messages like "I got an error saying 'do X', how do fix this?". Thus is the level of a random user - people creating software have to acknowledge that at some point.
I appreciate it being posted, because I don't run stock windows, yet I deal with supporting many windows users. It's not something they'll raise with me if it's not completely breaking their workflow, so it's nice to know what is the latest badness I should be disabling.
Okay. Fair enough. But wouldn't a post be better simply explaining that a basic setting or group policy exists rather than complaining on an ad packed page for more paragraphs than you care to read?
