The Weather app gets ads on Windows 11
Microsoft’s relation between itself and its users have been turbulent over the years. Some days, Microsoft listens to its users and reverts any changes that its users really don’t like. This time, however, it seems the Redmond giant is putting its foot down over ads in Windows 11. After we saw ads appear in the Start menu and Game Pass recommendations in the Settings menu, Microsoft is continuing its ad-based quest by adding ads to the Weather app.
The battle between Microsoft and its own users wages on
Given that user feedback against the ads isn’t having an effect, users are taking matters into their own hands. For example, when the Start menu ads first arrived, we saw a new Windows 11 ad control tool and an unofficial Windows 11 ad blocker arrive within a day of one another. As such, Microsoft will likely have a fight on its hands as users find ways to block the ads and use the operating system as they desire.
