Shouldn't it have in the first place? 🚨

Many people who have been using Windows 11 for a while will likely have seen ads or app recommendations pop up at different points of the system, whether in the Start menu, the Settings page, or even during the use of the basic features of the system. This does not count the promotion of apps and services from Microsoft itself that often come in the form of "Recommendations," so that not many users feel disturbed.

.

Most recently, Microsoft is reportedly preparing to add an option to allow Windows 11 users to turn off ads on certain parts of the system, especially in windows for file sharing.

.

The report came from an X user named phantomofearth, who found that Microsoft was updating the Nearby sharing setup page, a file-sharing feature between Windows PCs running AirDrop-like on macOS. This setup page will be renamed "Share," even though the Nearby sharing feature is still available as usual.

.

A major turning point was the addition of options for turning off app introductions in the Share or Share sheet window, where Windows 11 previously often displayed apps like Instagram, WhatsApp or other services in the manner of instructions. To persuade users to install more apps on board, many saw these as latent ads rather than as facilitating features.

.

Although the app instructions cannot be closed directly from the share window, users can close them through the Settings > System > Share menu by disclosing the "Show me recommendations apps in share surfaces" option. This will cause the share window to display only apps that are already installed.

.

This change marked another step for Microsoft to reduce advertising within Windows 11. The company previously updated the new Start menu, allowing users to close the Recommended section in full to free up more space for their apps. While Windows 11 is not completely ad-free, opening the way for more users to control these things reflects that Microsoft is starting to listen to more user echoes in the latter.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์การใช้งาน Windows 11 ที่ผ่านมาจะเห็นได้ชัดว่าแม้ระบบจะมีฟีเจอร์ใหม่ๆ ที่น่าสนใจ แต่โฆษณาหรือคำแนะนำแอปต่างๆ ที่แฝงมาก็มักจะทำให้รู้สึกรำคาญใจไม่น้อย โดยเฉพาะเวลาที่เราอยากแชร์ไฟล์หรือใช้งานเมนู Start ที่มักจะโผล่คำแนะนำแอปไม่พึงประสงค์ขึ้นมาเสมอ การที่ Microsoft ตัดสินใจเพิ่มตัวเลือกให้ผู้ใช้สามารถปิดคำแนะนำแอปเหล่านี้ในหน้าต่าง Share เป็นการเปลี่ยนแปลงที่ดีมาก เพราะช่วยเพิ่มความสะดวกและความเป็นส่วนตัวให้กับผู้ใช้งานอย่างแท้จริง โดยเฉพาะคนที่ไม่อยากให้ระบบแนะนำแอปบางตัว เช่น Instagram, WhatsApp หรือแอปอื่นๆ ที่อาจไม่มีความจำเป็นต้องติดตั้ง เนื่องจากสิ่งเหล่านี้ดูเหมือนโฆษณาที่แอบแฝงมาในระบบมากกว่า แนวทางที่แนะนำคือผู้ใช้งานสามารถเข้าไปปิดฟีเจอร์คำแนะนำนี้ได้ที่ Settings > System > Share แล้วปิดตัวเลือก Show me suggested apps in share surfaces ก็จะช่วยให้หน้าต่างแชร์แสดงเฉพาะแอปที่ติดตั้งอยู่ในเครื่องจริงๆ เท่านั้น ทำให้ประสบการณ์ใช้งานสมาร์ทขึ้นและไม่ถูกรบกวนจากโฆษณา สำหรับคนที่ใช้ฟีเจอร์ Nearby Sharing อยู่เป็นประจำ การเปลี่ยนชื่อเมนูเป็น Share อาจจะแรกๆ รู้สึกแปลกตา แต่หลักการทำงานยังเหมือนเดิม และการปรับปรุงนี้ยังหมายความว่า Microsoft กำลังฟังเสียงตอบรับจากผู้ใช้เพื่อพัฒนาระบบให้ดีขึ้นเรื่อยๆ ซึ่งถือเป็นสัญญาณที่ดีว่าสักวัน Windows 11 อาจจะลดโฆษณาในระบบได้มากกว่าเดิมอย่างเห็นได้ชัด โดยรวมแล้ว สำหรับผู้ใช้งาน Windows 11 การรู้จักวิธีปรับแต่งและปิดโฆษณาในระบบเองจะช่วยให้ประสบการณ์การใช้งานลื่นไหลและไม่ถูกรบกวนจากสิ่งที่ไม่ต้องการได้มากขึ้น ทั้งยังแสดงให้เห็นว่าผู้ใช้มีอำนาจควบคุมระบบของตัวเองได้ดีกว่าแต่ก่อนมาก
