New Adblock Features: By Popular Demand

We’re rolling out a new set of ad-blocking policies in Microsoft Edge and the Windows Taskbar. By disabling features like Microsoft News on new tabs, default shopping suggestions, and the News & Interests popup in your taskbar, we aim to minimise security risks from unsolicited advertising, reduce time-wasting content, and improve your overall browsing experience. If your team relies on any of these disabled features, don’t worry—these changes can be reversed on request.

Key Benefits

  • Removing unsolicited ads and promotions reduces the likelihood of staff clicking on malicious or deceptive links, helping to safeguard your systems.
  • By blocking distracting content, employees can focus on their work without being drawn away by irrelevant or attention-grabbing ads.
  • Disabling unnecessary widgets and pop-ups ensures a cleaner interface, making it easier for users to navigate Edge and Windows without clutter.
  • Express Your Interest...
