Microsoft started nagging Windows 10 users yet again โ€“ to upgrade to Windows 11 for new features and better experience.

In its latest attempt, the company started displaying full-screen pop-up of the notification: with options for downloading the update right away or remind users after sometime. Though thereโ€™s an option to keep running on Windows 10, it takes a handful of steps to avoid it.

A Constant Harassment to Upgrade

Microsoft is back with its frustrating practise of nagging users to upgrade. Users after updating their Windows 10 systems to January Tuesday update, has started seeing a full-screen banner โ€“ asking them to upgrade to Windows 11.

Well, some systems running on August 2022 update too are seeing this pop-up, so itโ€™s possibly a server-side decision to force users to upgrade. Experienced users say theyโ€™re being presented a full-screen pop-up with an alert as โ€œNow unlocked: Youโ€™re eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11โ€.

While itโ€™s usually a free upgrade for all genuine users of Windows 10, Microsoft just want to lure you by reiterating it. The popup has a Get it button to download the update right away (about 4GB), or an schedule option to remind later.

Also, thereโ€™s another option called โ€œKeep Windows 10โ€ right beneath them โ€“ but clicking it wonโ€™t make the banner disappear! Instead, itโ€™ll take you to another page as โ€œIntroducing Windows 11โ€, which highlights several features you get if upgraded to that OS.

Some of which include a redesigned Start menu, tabs in File Explorer, new settings experience, Micorosft 365 etc. Though thereโ€™s a button to go Back, it wonโ€™t does what it says โ€“ and continues to follow on with other slides.

This happens for the next few clicks until you find โ€œYouโ€™ll stay on Windows 10โ€ page with a โ€œDecline upgradeโ€ button. Declining it then will only let you get back to your Windows 10 home screen.
