Microsoft is now showing some Windows 11 users ads when they attempt to sign out in yet another confusing movie.
The only problem is that when you click on the menu option, it opens up OneDrive — a cloud storage service with premium subscription tiers. You do not have to pay to access OneDrive, but you will need to pay to get the most out of the service.
Additional screenshots show that Microsoft has several ads it can put in that space, including ads for creating a Microsoft Account. Microsoft pushing people to use its services is not a big deal, but the way in which it chooses to advertise to its users is baffling. Apple is currently finding new ways to flood the App Store with ads, but at least that’s actually a storefront. Meanwhile, if Apple told users to sign up for iCloud every time they powered off their iPhones, the internet would go ballistic.
The good news is that this appears to be in the testing phase, as I’m not seeing the ads on my personal Windows 11 machine. We can only hope that the response from those who are seeing the ads is universally negative so that Microsoft doesn’t decide to roll them out more widely. We’ll keep an eye out for any updates in the meantime.
