Microsoft Faces Backlash for Persistent Ads in Windows 11 Weather App

Users criticize Microsoft's aggressive advertising tactics in the latest update to the Weather app, calling it intrusive and unwelcome.

  • New ads in the Weather app follow users as they scroll, remaining constantly visible.
  • The redesign has removed useful widgets, making the app less functional.
  • Critics argue that ads in a paid operating system are inappropriate and frustrating.
  • There are concerns that this trend could lead to more pervasive and unavoidable ads in Windows 11.
  • Alternative ad-free weather apps are available, offering better functionality without the intrusive ads.
