Good thing you reminded me of context menus when right clicking on files. Now everything that was easy with one click requires two and you get some useless options instead. I forgot about it because I was able to find a hack to bring the old menu back. Hopefully it survives at least a few updates.
>> the only thing of size that pops up on mine is the start menu. Unless that's the new search thing I disabled.
They call it "taskbar" and I guess that's what you mean by "start menu". I use the word toolbar because it's equally useless for anyone who has a keyboard. Anyway, the obvious behavior of "hide it and keep it hidden unless I press Windows key" is of course not an option. It just needs to be there all the time to randomly mess up whatever you are doing when clicking around bottom of the screen.
>>I haven't seen any ads in the OS... maybe a OneDrive one?
There are at least a few places in the system settings where instead of showing you options there is "One Drive", "Try Office" or Windows Store or Edge on most of the screen.

Technically it's a click and a mouse movement, but if anything that's more annoying than two clicks, haha.

I genuinely haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about. I'll have to look next time I'm using my PC.

That might be because I'm signed in on OneDrive and with my Office subscription then. That's shitty though.
