News & Reviews:   Windows 11 Malaysia

Recently, we reported that Microsoft is potentially planning to put ads in Windows 11 File Explorer based on a screenshot shared by one of the OS’ build testers. Now, Microsoft has come out to address the matter, saying that the ads feature is merely an experimental banner.

Furthermore, the tech giant also said that the banner was never intended for external publication and has since been turned off in the latest Windows 11 test build. This is according a statement from Windows senior programme designer, Brandon LeBlanc that was sent to US-based tech portal The Verge.

Last month, Microsoft officially launched Windows 11, which has a redesigned UI, new widgets, and a new Microsoft Store. Users with eligible Windows 10 PCs can directly upgrade to it, but it's been over a month now and hardly anyone seems to care.
