- Windows 11 warns some people who support their PC with a banner in the configuration application
- This is a way of pressing Microsoft’s own backup application that Udedrive uses
- Not everyone needs to hear about this, and some users are frustrating with the banner that appears repeatedly
If Windows 11 uses, you are undoubtedly used to Microsoft’s attempts to boost it to use its various services, and there has been another place of thrust (or pushing, even) in the operating system with respect to OneDrive.
The last of Windows accelerated in this case, and works in an indirect way, which means that it is not an intermittent banner that tells you that “you must use OneDrive” (that comes in the update next month, in reality, Ahem, although you never know with Microsoft).
The technology site tells us that Windows 11 is pressing a warning panel of ‘advised action: backup of its PC’ in certain users, at the top of the start screen of the configuration application. And when I classify it as a warning, it is because it is shown in yellow with a sign of exclamation to urge measures.
According to Windows Last, this warning is regularly presented to them (and others). So what happens if you click on the ‘Continue’ button on the banner? Windows 11 will begin its incorporated backup application, a tool designed to make a backup of your PC to the cloud.
But, of course, it is specifically linked to the ONEDRive storage locker in the Microsoft cloud, so this is an indirect way to promote that service. The problem is that if you do not have enough storage space in OneDrive, and the free allocation is almost certain that it will not be enough, you may be tempted to buy more space to support your PC, and then Microsoft wins a little extra cash.
Go back in backups, Microsoft, or at least provide an option here
Isn’t it a backup copy of your PC something useful, however, if you haven’t done it? Well, yes, very definitely, so to be fair, for novice computer users who have not taken these steps to protect their data (or in fact the system configuration), this could be very useful.
But OneDrive is not the only way to follow in this regard, and if you have already taken advantage of a backup solution of a third party of one type or another, then, well, it is almost certain that it does not go, want to be disorderly in this way on a trip to the configuration application.
And apparently, since, as the last of Windows, it does not indicate that this banner only appears in the configuration for users who have deactivated the synchronization of the cloud and the configuration of backup in Windows 11 (which, of course, is likely to have done if you deals with the backup tasks yourself and did not leave it to the operating system). The repeated nature of this warning also makes it more annoying.
Do not be misunderstood, I really like the idea of the backup application, in which Microsoft has done a commendable work in recent times to be a good way to transfer all its things from an old PC to a new one. It is convenient and useful for less experts in technology in that sense, safely, despite some limitations (especially third -party applications are not included in backup images, only Microsoft store software).
Even so, this is still a case of overreach with ‘recommendations’ of Microsoft (once again). Windows the latter also observes that there is a bit of talk in Reddit’s tastes that discuss possible false and solutions to turn off this warning, but we should not have to resort to that.
Actually, at least, there should be a box to mark in the line of ‘Do not show this again’ with the banner, for those who know what it is and have their backup copies in the hand. Surely that is not too difficult to implement, Microsoft, without leaving the present push for those who could really benefit from it?
