More ads in Windows 11 Start Menu could be the last straw for some users

"This is what a monopoly is like adding in things to trick and inconvenience you," one user wrote."Whoops I just pushed an update that sets your browser to Edge, have ads as notifications and Teams and OneDrive unable to be removed from the system."

"The moment I see ads in the OS that I can't disable I'm out," another wrote."Tech is supposed to empower us, not capture us." "Thinking realistically, every software I use with the notable exception of Windows and DaVinci Resolve switched to a subscription model. If Microsoft doesn't do that and pushes its OneDrive and 365 subs via the task bar every now and then I'm personally okay with that. Better than paying $$$ every month just to use the OS."

Windows 11 Start menu ads look set to get even worse – this is getting painful nowMicrosoft might just have crossed a line with new Start menu adverts Only luddites and people making temp VMs still roll with a local only account. Microsoft should just make it a requirement to have a Microsoft or work account going forward. This sounds very much like the badgering I get on my MBP, with Apple constantly telling me I need to upgrade my iCloud storage. It's obnoxious. And when you try and close the notification it pops up with a new window describing the pricing scheme.
