Xbox Advert - Windows 11 Login Screen

lachlan79 — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 09:46:16 GMT

Good morning,

New computer - windows 11.

When I login with my PIN, I sometimes click in the centre of screen on the XBOX advert. When I login I end up with an XBOX page. Is there a way to remove the XBOX advert from PIN screen?

Regards

Andrew

Have a read of this, I think it will let you do what you want.

Funnily enough, I got the annoying X Box ad on startup today.

Your question may have helped me banish it as well.

It looks like its tied into Windows Spotlight. If you select Spotlight on Lock screen, it comes up. If you don't, when you don't see the Xbox advert. But I like Windows Spotlight. Didn't find a better solution so far.
