The last two versions of Windows, which are currently still receiving official support, have been surrounded by certain controversies since their launch. One of the most common complaints from users is everything related to the advertising that appears in various sections of the software.
We tell you all this because in both Windows 10 and Windows 11, we sometimes encounter quite annoying advertisementsIn fact, over the last few years we have been encountering a series of pop-up messages and even full screens in Windows 10, encouraging us to install the latest version.
All of this is part of the many strategies used by the software giant to ensure that Let’s migrate to Windows 11 as soon as possible. This step is costing millions of users, much more than the company originally thought.
Nevertheless, we must keep in mind that End of support for Windows 10 is getting closer. It is an operating system that will stop receiving updates next month October 2025. Although it may seem far away, it is not really. Hence the announcements reminding companies and end users of all this so that they decide to install the most recent version of the operating system.
However, complaints from customers in this regard have not ceased. Hence the decision that Microsoft has just taken in this regard.
Ads to install Windows 11 will disappear
We are telling you all this because the company has now stopped the appearance of the aforementioned ads. To a large extent, this decision has been made after receiving a multitude of complaints from users around the world. And we must take into account that Windows is a paid operating system, so advertising is not very well regarded, even if it is internal.
Therefore, the company has now made the decision to stop showing ads Windows 11 to users who are still using Windows 10. Surely on some occasions you have even found yourself with a completely different welcome screen when starting your computer with the system that ends next year. In it, the company tries to convince us to install the new version of Windows at that precise moment, something that we can deactivate.
All of this blocks the normal startup of the computer that we may need to use at that precise moment to start working. And not only that, as complaints have also been made about the frequency of these ads, or their location. Evidently, users have the feeling that they are being pressured to update and migrate.
Hence, they consider them unnecessary and intrusive, especially if they were already planning to upgrade to Windows 11. So, at this point, it finally seems that Microsoft has listened to us. It has made the decision to remove these tips in the form of ads so that we can freely choose when we will carry out the update.
Although many of you are reluctant to do so, sooner or later we will have to. change Windows 10 for Windows 11at least that is what is advisable.
