Microsoft pauses Windows 11 full-screen alerts on Windows 10 after feedback

Microsoft initially tested Windows 11 naggings with a smaller group of Windows 10 users, mostly those with Home License, but some Pro and Business users also observed the alerts. A full-screen popup appeared, usually after a reboot, reminding users of the "benefits" (LOL!) of upgrading to the new operating system.

Microsoft planned to expand the invitation to more Windows 10 users from April 2024 but dismissed the plan shortly after the announcement. In an update to the Microsoft 365 advisory, Microsoft has quietly confirmed that it has paused this Windows 11 nagging after “feedback” from users.

This change was first spotted and reported by Windows Latest, and it states that: To honour our user’s feedback, these invitations will no longer begin with the April 2024 monthly security update. We will share a new timeline in the coming months.

Meanwhile, in other news: Win 11 still proves unpopular with users. Currently: Win10 = 65% of PCs, while Win11 = 31%. Even after Microsoft is forcing the issue with forced upgradesthreats & the fact all new PCs come with Win 11!
