What visual style are you using for it right now @Dragon Lord? Is it the new one that was made for W11 or did you stick with the classic Windows style it offers?

Microsoft is testing ads in the Windows 11 File Explorer - Bleeping Computer

Apparently this isn't the first time Microsoft have pushed ads onto Windows and I think it'll be inevitably staying considering they won't just take the hint to not keep doing it despite prior attempts always going poorly. I'd rather Windows 11 not be given out for free to everyone with W10 if this is what will happen, especially since this is being applied to any copy of W11 even if you did pay for it. Errm

Eh, it won't bother me if it's just that little bar shown in the screenshot. That's easy enough to ignore whenever I go into File Explorer. I'll have a problem with it the day that the Win 11 UI starts to look like Skype.

What did Skype's UI look like again? I can't remember what it looked like. XD

Just requoting this incase you missed it back when I first posted it.

I don't remember exactly how it looked anymore, but I just remember it had very "in your face" ads plastered every where on it.

Also I'm just using the default Win11 look. Didn't even know I could change it to anything classic looking (haven't been bothered to really dive into all of the customization options yet).

I feel like they've already been doing that shit, so those ads don't really bother me.

I've had it set to classic. It's taken a little time to get used to but it feels fine. I've actually just gone full MacOS experience and hide the taskbar as well (hover only). LOL

I'll say the one gripe I have with it so far is that right clicking the taskbar no longer let's me access Task Manager. There used to be many options with right-click, and now it's just "Taskbar Settings" only. I've had to pin the task manager to it so I can access it quicker. Not a fan of CTRL + ALT + DEL every time I wanna check program usage. Errm

Please understand Microsoft needs to sell you ads and everything really need an ad! I'm looking forward to the future where state of the art toilets will play you an ad that you will surely appreciate while your using the toilet! Grin

As someone who keeps task manager open 24/7 the removal of a quick access would really piss me off. I guess pinning it won't be too bad for me though since I keep it open all the time anyway so not like it would be taking up space on my taskbar or being something I want quick access to but not always open or accidentally clicking on (looking at you Photoshop before I finally unpinned you after opening is by accident for the nth time).

For those using it already, is there anything you would like to see added in a future update to the OS? Hmm
