Facing user pressure, Microsoft announced that it would temporarily stop frequently reminding Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11. Previously, a large number of users reported that they would receive frequent pop-up upgrade invitations regardless of whether their computers met the hardware requirements, and there was even suspicion that they were misleading users to buy new hardware.

It is understood that Microsoft has adjusted its Windows 11 upgrade reminder strategy. Previously, large pop-up ads often appeared in the system to prompt upgrades. However, now Microsoft said: "In response to user feedback and taking into account the user experience, we have decided to stop these upgrade invitations after the monthly security update in April 2024." At the same time, they also revealed: "In the next few months, we will share a new promotion schedule."

It should be noted that although this decision temporarily alleviates user dissatisfaction, it also implies that Microsoft may restart its upgrade promotion activities in the future. Considering that Windows 10 will stop supporting in October 2025, Microsoft may increase its promotion efforts as the date approaches.
