Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the Settings app.

This will likely arrive in the July update for Windows 11, or at least it’s almost certain to do so. It was present in the latest preview update Microsoft just released for the OS (and quickly paused due to a bug, but that’s another story). It’s also worth noting that the ad has been present in earlier test versions of Windows 11.

          Yes it is. You seem reluctant to tell anybody which distro you’re using (even downvoting the person who asked), probably because you know they’d point out that it is in fact there.

          Below I’m showing you how it is on my laptop running GNOME, the most used desktop environment. It’s similarly easy in KDE Plasma and Cinnamon. Even the more niche DEs like Pantheon, Budgie, XFCE, and LXQT have had that functionality for many years.

          Change audio devices

          Switch power profile

          Bonus switch power profile

          I really don’t know why you’re lying about this. The terminal is not something you’d ever need to open for this.

              That is changing the default device. When you set one that’s what it sticks to. Same goes for the power profile.

              Why are you lying?
