Is there a way to disable the AdChoices bar in outlook.com? It's annoying.

Thanks!

    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) .

    I  have been a Hotmail member for like 15 years and i do not like this ad choice banner on the right of the inbox. I do not have a option to close this only two buttons that open new windows with preferences. Please advise to how to even temporarily disable this feature in outlook.com thank you...

    Hi,

    We understand how important it is that you want to have an enough space for the subject in your messages. We'd like to help you out. Have you tried the workaround I have suggested in my previous post? If you have other Microsft accounts, try to sign in to see if the same problem occurs.

    Since you're a free user and want to eliminate the banner advertisements, I suggest that you subscribe to Windows Live Hotmail Plus. Signing up for Windows Live Hotmail Plus has the following advantages:

    • 10GB account size limit
    • Increase on the number of messages that you can send per day
    • No banner advertisements

    If you want to sign up for Windows Live Hotmail Plus, please click here.

    Thanks!
