Microsoft tests 'upsells' of its products in Windows 11 sign-out menu

But you can see why no one who read that bulletin a few weeks back would immediately think:"Oh, I've been clearly notified that Microsoft will be advertising paid products in the user session menu."

Albacore grumbled:"There's a difference between a bullet point about badging for 'certain actions' and proper screenshots of those actions turning out to be upsells."In March this year, testers spotted ads in Windows Insiders' File Explorer, prompting some users to suggest the team had"lost their damn minds.":"This was an experimental banner that was not intended to be published externally and was turned off.

The Windows 10 Start Menu also includes ads, although you can turn these off by toggling the Menu setting that reads:"Occasionally show suggestions in Start."in its Windows 10 Mail client, although, to paraphrase our headline at the time, it then"U-turned so hard, it warped fabric of reality." The Windows giant has previously said that some of these suggestions, though they're for its own products, might be helpful for new users unsure of how or where to back up, or whether they need a Microsoft account, however, if the user session menu feature makes it out of testing, the presence of the promos might be unavoidable because of where it put them.
