Summary:
-
Persistent Pop-up: Windows 11 users are being greeted with an annoying pop-up message reminding them that their systems aren’t backed up using the built-in Windows backup solution. This notification can’t be disabled, causing frustration among users.
-
Indirect Threat: The message suggests that it’s best to make backups to ensure all data is stored safely “in case something happens to the PC.” While it sounds like an indirect threat, Microsoft is simply pointing out the option to store file backups on its OneDrive cloud service.
-
Advertising OneDrive: Alongside the backup reminder, Microsoft is also subtly advertising its OneDrive cloud service and encouraging users to purchase more storage space, adding to the irritation for those who prefer alternative backup solutions.
