Can the AdChoices bar be removed from Outlook.com?

Hi fluffbundle,

I apologize for the delay in responding to you.

I understand that you want to disable the ads in your Inbox. Please be informed that the ads that Hotmail/Outlook have in your Inbox is there because it pays to maintain the services provided knowing that it is free. If you want to have  an ad-free account, you may want to upgrade to Hotmail/Outlook Plus.

In line with this, we'd like to have a screenshot of the issue you are having on your account. You may provide it in the private message area where you have to sign in using a Microsoft account and click Private Messages tab across All Replies.

Feel free to post back if you need clarifications.

Thank you.

I have recently upgraded my hotmail to outlook.com and I believe the problem being discussed is with the new microsoft personal data dashboard, NOT adverts/ad choices.  I too would like to hide or disable this intrusive column down the right hand side.

This is only in beta at the moment.  I would hope that some functionality to hide/disable will be added in the near future as I can't see any way to do this at present.

The strange thing is, I've just been discussing this with a friend and swapped screenshots with him and he doesn't have it at all.

The point I think microsoft might be missing here is that some of us just want to view our emails and nothing else.

Hi Everyone,

We're sorry for the inconvenience that this issue has caused you. Free Hotmail/Outlook.com accounts are run with the support of our advertisers; the advertisement cannot be completely removed. However, you may close it by clicking the Close ad option on the lower part of the advertisement.

If you don't want to view any advertisements in your account, you may subscribe to Hotmail Plus or use an Email Client program.

Thanks!

Well i have to admit using the web inbox sucks... I am still able to use my Microsoft outlook from office for now so that's what i am doing. I honestly hope they don't take that feature away too!

I ended up using ad blocking softrware/addins since its been since  september and this was not resolved.  The switched the platform from hotmail to outlook then flood 1/5th of my screen with adds. which is really sad.  Google/gmail does has add but its like 1 line and thats it ( litrerrary 1 line) .
