Windows 11 Start Menu will soon display advertisements, as Microsoft begins testing advertising content within its operating system. The tech giant is currently experimenting with the placement of ads in the Windows 11 “Start” interface, allowing users to turn off the feature if they choose.
This move comes as Microsoft prepares to end support for Windows 10 in just 18 months, pushing users towards upgrading to the new operating system. In a strategic move to entice users to make the switch, Microsoft has also launched a new “taunting” strategy aimed at technology enthusiasts and gamers.
While some users may find the idea of ads in the Start Menu intrusive, Microsoft assures that users will have the option to opt out of seeing the advertisements. The company is looking to capitalize on advertising revenue while providing a more personalized experience for users.
As Windows 11 continues to roll out and evolve, it will be interesting to see how users respond to the introduction of ads in the Start Menu. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
