The ads help keep the outlook.com service free. You can remove the ads - by paying for Ad-free Outlook.com. It costs about $20 per year. Have a look here:

    After using "Hotmail" for about TWENTY YEARS _ I now have to PAY to opt out of their ridiculous "window"? Guess I'll open another account where I don't have to pay and I don't have to put up with the nonsense!

    Hi JanPeirson,

    Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

    In addition to what Woodg mentioned, to avoid this from your account, you might consider upgrading to a paid subscription such as Ad-free Outlook.

    You can go to this link Ad-free Outlook.com to know more information.

    If there's anything else that I can help you with, please do not hesitate to reply here and we will further assist you. We'd love to hear from you again.

    Thanks.

    For 20+ years, it has been free, so why do we have to pay now?. Just to keep feeding the greediness of the management?. So they can keep buying 200+ Million dollars yachts?.

    Listen and pay attention to what the customers are saying and stop repeating like parrots the answer you been told to say in your training. Pass the message to the managers.

    The amount of clients that you are losing should be a clear indicator that this move is wrong. When enough will be enough?.

    Please, remove the advertising bar now. Don’t ask your clients to pay for it.

    Thanks.

    Jose F. Garcia.

    If advertisers don't pay for the free Outlook.com service whom does that leave?  The users.
