Win 10_64bit Pro I7, 2tb, 16gb, SB TrueStudio with Opt in/out, also SoundForge, Movie Studio 2022.

Ad for Music Maker 2022 Premium + add-on $49.95 - trouble is I'm just trying to get to the music maker premium I've just installed. Never mind the totally mindless self promotion - Big static desktop window (cannot move, grab, size, right-click) taking up 3/4 of my screen over the initial music maker splash screen) only way to kill it is by closing the window on my taskbar.

Just a musician trying to get thru a stupid install in a world where no-one is allowed to actually talk - by phone - live - in real time to support.

Got to the Music Maker software.

$$$$ How much would it CO$Tt TO NOT HAVE TO SEE ADVERTISEMENTS INSIDE THE SOFTWARE's MAIN SCREEN I'M TRYING TO ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH WORK WITH ?!?! $$4 Look, America is Jacked, but really?? Really?? Non stop Eye Candy ?

And when I quit yet another desktop splash screen informing me that I can get up to 53% off the software I've just installed and am trying to figure out.

Seriously! I'm questioning if using this company's software will subject my desktop to unwanted, unsought, undesired advertisements... ON MY DESKTOP? Are you trying to force people to walk away?

@David-Donnell Yes, this annoying commercials are standard for Magix. You can disable them in the program settings and by clicking on the checkmark in the commercial windows to not show them again. Also, you need to uninstall the program Update Notifier through Windows Apps and Features because it will show commercials after you restart your computer.

@David-Donnell, @SP.

. . . . uninstall the program Update Notifier through Windows Apps and Features . . . .

To clarify - the name of the Windows process that is popping up the messages/ads is called Update Notifier, the actual program to uninstall is Magix Cloud Import or if you have an older version may be called Magix Connect.
