MW3 Full Screen Ad

Hello Sober A, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I apologize for any frustration or inconvenience caused by the full screen ad you encountered when turning on your Xbox. However, I do not have access to real-time information or control over Xbox advertising practices or settings.

The ad you saw may have been part of a promotional campaign or temporary event. Console manufacturers and game publishers occasionally run marketing campaigns that include ads on the console's home screen. These ads are usually intended to promote new games, services, or other content.

Please remember that advertising-related policies and settings may change over time, so it's always a good idea to stay up to date with the latest information provided by Xbox.

I understand that encountering unexpected ads can be frustrating, luckily this ad disappears when you press a button on the console so we must wait for the campaign to finish since we do not have a way to deactivate it.

I hope this helps.
Best regards.

If the ad creates stress, you may want to uninstall it as a whole.

If this continues, I will become a PC gamer or even trying PS. I've been playing since Xbox launch day but I'm unprepared to be subjected to this level of advertising, having spent thousands over the years on subscriptions, games and consoles.

So there is no option to disable full screen ads on a console I have paid hundreds of dollars for and pay a monthly subscription fee to even use properly?

This has made me consider my options as a consumer.

Hello ForgedEnigma, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

Don't worry, I understand your frustration. Here are some steps you can follow to disable these ads:

Turn off “Automatically start the app on startup”: Go to Home, find the Xbox app, and click it. Click the Profile/Sign in menu item at the top left of the screen. Then click Settings. Click General in the left panel. Then uncheck the “Automatically start the app on startup” option in Startup Settings.

Turn off “Run at Startup/Xbox App Services”: Click Start and search for the Xbox app (typing “xb” is usually sufficient). Right-click on the Xbox app item. From the right-click menu, select Application Settings. Disable the "Run at startup/Xbox App Services" setting.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards.
