- Some Windows 11 users obtained notes the impression
- This is not true, but the application has just obtained a new function of AI that requires such a session
- There is still a bit of anger about Microsoft adding more and more capacities to the notebook when you are designed to be an optimized text editor
The idea that Windows 11 users have to log in to use the application of notes a new scheme invented by Microsoft to bother people? Fortunately, this is not the case, although many people have come to this conclusion.
Log in a Microsoft account for the notes? 🙄 pic.twitter.com/vfzvm44ec0February 16, 2025
Bobpony was raised by Bobpony that (along with other inhabitants of X) pointed out that after the recent update of the application of the notes, he now asked them to start session in their Microsoft account.
This immediately attracted a considerable amount of anger, because the entire concept of notes is that it is a super transmitted text editor that can turn on and use quickly. Therefore, this is not only an obstacle that runs against the fundamental design of the notes block in that regard, but some people also do not have a Microsoft account.
While this is happening with some Windows 11 users, the reason for this is explained in the text that accompanies the emerging window requesting the login, which establishes: “Log in with your Microsoft account to use Rewrite and its characteristics In the notes. “
The update of the notebook has brought the ability to use Rewrite, which is a copilot feature that makes the AI reduce any selected text (a capacity seen in Windows 11 tests at the end of last year).
As Tom hardware, which noticed the previous publication in X, he points out, this dialogue indicator only appears for those who are clicking on the Rewrite button on the notes.
In addition, if you see this dialogue and do not want to log in as requested, you can simply close it. However, you will not be able to use the rewriting function, unless you log in to your Microsoft account.
ANALYSIS: Does the notes go in the wrong direction?
In many ways, so this is a storm in a tea cup stage, but there is an underlying reason why people could easily be angry here. In the first place, there has been a broader impulse for the people of Cajole to register for a Microsoft account, including a lot of ‘suggestions’ of Windows 11 in several bits of the interface.
Therefore, anything like this will bother some users, guaranteed, although Microsoft points out that a login is necessary to use the rewriting capacity due to “safety and safety purposes of AI” (related to any request you make).
Secondly, again, looking at this incident (or the lack of an incident is a better way to describe it, perhaps) from a broader perspective, it is another rejection against the notes that are reinforced. As mentioned earlier, the entire idea of notes is that it is a text editor Barebones and light, and yet Microsoft has continued to add additional cuts since the launch of Windows 11.
That includes the tastes of Dark Mode, Multi-Step Undo and Spell-Spellching Plus Autocorreta, and now we have the rewriting function of the aforementioned in the notes. And no, of course, you don’t have to use any of these elements, but the concern is that they are still spinning in the background and possibly swelling the notes so that it is not as brave and receptive as once it was. (Although Microsoft, at least, has recently modified the application to load a little faster).
That is why you can see that some of those who respond to the publication in X are urging anyone who is fed up with this new path, Wordpad seems to consider Notepad ++. In fact, I would throw the main recommendation of our list of the best text editors too, namely the sublime text.
