Disable lock screen adverts to speed up your machine

Microsoft started putting lock screen adverts on Windows 8.1 PCs a few years ago and the tradition carried on with Windows 10 (the first one to appear on the latter was an ad for Rise of the Tomb Raider, incidentally). 

Occasionally these can be of interest, but most are annoying especially if they replace a wallpaper you’re fond of. Luckily, removing them is easy. And getting rid of these ads could also help a bit in terms of performance, as it’s one less thing for your machine to worry about (not that the difference will be much, but every little bit helps).

Left click on the Start menu, then select Settings > Personalisation > Lock Screen. Look for the Background drop-down menu and select either option that is not Windows Spotlight. Finally, scroll down and turn off the option that puts ‘fun facts, tips, and more’ on the lock screen. That’ll be the end of any ads offending your peepers.
