- Windows 11 users are seeing a positive change, but also one less welcome
- The good news is that the ‘second -time cash experience’ has been considerably rationalized
- The bad news is that there is a new NAG emerging window in the start menu that pushes him to take a subscription to OneDrive
Microsoft has ordered a discomfort with Windows 11, but unfortunately it seems to have introduced another irritation, and more irritating, instead.
Let’s start with the good news here, which Neowin marked and involves the ‘out -of -chance box’ (Scobe for abbreviation). That is elegant for a NAG screen that appears after starting the desktop, trying to configure the Windows 11 elements with which it was not bothered when configuring its PC originally.
The configuration of your Windows PC is known as the out -of -cash experience (OOBE), since you just removed the device from the box and light it, so this panel is essentially pushing these things again, with the hope that you can use the Windows backup application, for example (or change to Edge).
Now, as currently exists, this Scobe Nagging is a matter of multiple panels that you should click (there are three panels, if my memory serves correctly).
However, in a recent previous version on the DEV channel for Windows 11 (compilation 26200.5722), Microsoft has changed the Scobe, so it is just a panel, and can discard it with a single click.
At least now, when it appears, and if you leave parts of the Windows 11 configuration without finishing, it will continue to appear every few months or so, it will be more painless to hit.
So, that is something (vaguely) positive, but unfortunately Microsoft seems to have introduced a new NAG in its place.
Windows last noticed the new and more annoying addition that has reached the start of Windows 11 and consists of an emerging window that indicates: ‘Action advised: support its PC’.
Under that there is a spiel to back up their files, configurations, etc. In the cloud, and if you click on the “Continue” indicator, Microsoft provides that it will be taken to Windows backup. (And that support application is facilitated by OneDrive, and with the low amount of free space included with the Microsoft cloud storage service, it will surely need a subscription, which is the crux of this notice in terms of selling something).
ANALYSIS: SCOOBE DOOBY NO
So, although this addition of the start menu is a warning at first glance, it is really just a way to try to make a subscription with Microsoft. And while this could be a useful message to remind some people who need to make a backup copy of their files, the problem is that others may have ordered a backup through another application (or disappeared in the cloud), but if they have not used the official Microsoft channel, then they will be deactivated to do so.
As Windows Last makes it clear, these indications will probably continue to appear periodically, such as Scobe, and there is no way to turn them off. This is because Microsoft has marked this Windows backup as a ‘required’ message, so it cannot be avoided, unlike the Scobe, which can really turn off. (You can do it in configuration> System> Notifications> Additional configuration).
In my book, there should be no such thing as mandatory Nags, and if you want to use Windows 11 without being upset by a single emerging window in this regard, I should be able to mark a box in that regard. Interestingly, Windows last observes that with a Windows 11 test installation using an EU region, this alert did not appear in the start menu, so this change may not occur in Europe due to its data regulations (which are demonstrating a great blessing in some way).
