Here's how:

Notice the advertisement at the bottom left? I have no malware on my 
computer so I know that Microsoft is the one feeding that to me.

And it's gonna get worse (you now have to pay for Solitaire.  if you
don't, it'll never give you a winnable game.)

You chose to use the OS, deal with it.

I have realized that MS Solitaire is a problem if you perpetually don't 
let it phone home.   The way I get around this and the ads is to turn 
off the wireless on my computer.

Doing this, I do not get the ads.   However after a period on not 
phoning home when the game becomes unwinnable.  Then I let it talk with 
mommy MS a couple of times and every thing is back to normal.  Again I 
can play with out ads.

May sounds like a conspiracy theorist to you but it is true.  Normally I 
can win one out of 4 or 5 games.   After preventing it from phoning 
home, I can play 10 or 20 games and not win one.  Let it phone home and 
we are back to one out of 4 or 5 games.

If this happened once, I would say that it is probably,  but it has 
happened multiple times.

I have SKlondike Forever instead of MS's version. Better IMO.

Thanks been there a couple of months ago, and now only use Windows 7 
games. I love the Spider Solitaire.  However MS Standard Solitaire is 
prettier.

I'm curious as to whether other people have seen such advertisements. 
I'm hoping that it's a fluke and that I won't see any others but I guess 
I would need confirmation that Windows 10 is really the culprit 
delivering this garbage. If it is, it needs to go.

As I said several times already. MS has finally figured out where is money:
(google payed doubleclick 3bn$ and yahoo around 600Mil for similar service...)

To give you something negative to comment on. I am honest about Windows' 
issues as well.

I assume that this makes me a troll in your eyes.

You could have posted that on the Windows group and simply sent us a
link to it. There is no need to cross post here.

Gee Great Rolf. Just kill all hope of blocking any spam, viruses, worms,
