Microsoft said that it’s testing new ways to add more popups to Windows 11 in the form of tips on how to use its new operating system.
Popups within Windows are one of the operating system’s more polarizing features. If you’re not a fan, you may want to brace yourself, because Microsoft is testing whether or not to add even more to Windows 11. It might not be bad news, though. As part of the review notes for the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22458, Microsoft says that it’s including an enhanced Tips app for Windows 11, with more hints about how to use the new upcoming operating system. But Microsoft also says that it’s going to be scattering more of these hints around the operating system itself. “And it doesn’t quite stop there with the Tips app—you’ll notice tips appear throughout Windows 11 to help you discover new things as you go!” Microsoft said in a blog post. “Check out the new Tips widget on the widgets board, tips as First Run Experiences, and tips for specific experiences within Windows 11.” Popups at any time can be controversial within Windows. Microsoft began advertising features within Windows around 2016—showing, in one example, that you could earn free movies and games through browsing with Microsoft Edge.
