Microsoft watchers know that the office giant regularly offers online build views and even debugging software updates for techies to download. Recently, however, a build was met with a negative outcry, presumably due to a mistake on the part of Microsoft. Insider fans expected a treat, as usual, when Microsoft revealed a Microsoft 11 build. So, downloaders were most unhappy to discover that the company had ads implanted into the edition’s File Explorer. The word was made quickly public via Twitter. Microsoft responded with alacrity, spokespersons saying that the ads were not intended to be visible. The outcry resulted in the company’s pulling of the ads.
Key Takeaways:
- Microsoft regularly rolls out new builds and debugging options. A recent rollout included a version of Windows Explorer that was not well-received.
- The Windows 11 File Explorer showed ads, which the company now claims were not supposed to be visible.
- Thanks to public outcry, Microsoft has disabled the ads that made so many downloaders upset.
“The response online was swift and strongly negative, with many pointing out that the file explorer is one of the worst places to show an ad.”
