While the company promotes only its own products and solutions
The April update of Windows 11 brought an additional portion of advertising to the operating system. This time she registered in the Start menu.
Advertising in the “Start” is not third-party: Microsoft thus simply additionally reminds of its OneDrive service.
Ads appeared in the Windows 11 Start Menu. But Microsoft will let you turn it off.
What’s more, Microsoft doesn’t even call it advertising. According to the company, these are notifications for Microsoft accounts in the Start menu.
So far, such advertising has appeared only in a small number of users, but in this way companies always check the reaction of consumers. However, a feature is also under development that will allow those who wish to turn off such ads. Of course, most average users are unlikely to know about this, but it will still be possible.
