I will not have an operating system that shows me ads. This is my computer. It will do what I want.

I have Windows 11 on my Asus laptop - I've never seen an ad (except on some web pages my adblocker doesn't catch) - where are all these Win 11 users seeing all these ads?

Lock screen, start menu, taskbar. It varies between region and between the home/pro versions, so you may have gotten lucky.

Well, I dunno. On my lock screen I get local weather, local events and such, which I don't mind and are not really adverts. I never see anything else. Nothing in start menu or taskbar.

This is Windows 11 home. I wonder if people complaining about ads have some 3rd party adware installed, or are just parroting what they have heard about the evils of Microsoft?
