When it comes to dealing with advertisements when they're surfing on their browsers. I've just learned recently about how Google has or is killing UBlock Origin on the Chrome browser as well as all Chromium based browsers too.

We've heard for years about people complaining, bitching, whining and vice versa about how they keep seeing ads. And those trying to help them, keep wasting time to tell these people that they're surfing without extensions. Whether it'd be on Chrome or Firefox or another browser.

By this point, I've long stopped being that helper because if you cared at all about the advertisements you see, you would've long had gotten on the wagon of getting adblockers by now. You bring this onto yourself.

Before calling support, turning your device off and back on again will legitimately resolve 90% of your issues.

If you call the helldesk and the uptime of your device is more than 24 hours and you said you already rebooted it how can we trust anything else you say?

tbf, I have rebooted my system and uptime didn't also reset. It appears that newer Windows has this "fast startup" feature. Pinky swear I told the truth.

Any proper it system will have that turned off because fast boot only applies to devices with spinning disks. If you have a SSD as your boot device there is no advantage to it.

You are correct. However, I don't mess with my work computer and let the IT department manage it. Sometimes, they manage poorly.
