Microsoft Halts Windows 11 Upgrade Harassment Temporarily Due to User Pressure

TapTechNews August 15th news, Microsoft has finally yielded to user pressure and temporarily stopped harassing Windows 10 users with Windows 11 upgrade prompts. Previously, a large number of users reported that regardless of whether the computer met the hardware requirements of Windows 11, upgrade reminders would pop up frequently, and there was even a suspicion of inducing users to upgrade their hardware.

According to WindowsLatest, Microsoft has adjusted the Windows 11 upgrade reminder strategy. Previously, large advertising pop-ups would frequently appear in the system to remind users to upgrade. And now, Microsoft said: In order to respect the feedback of users, these upgrade invitations will stop after the monthly security update in April 2024. We will share a new timeline in the coming months.

TapTechNews noted that although this decision temporarily alleviated users' dissatisfaction, it also hinted that the upgrade promotion campaign will be restarted in the future. Considering that Windows 10 will stop being supported in October 2025, Microsoft may increase the promotion intensity near that date.
