Microsoft Windows 11: File Explorer ads leaked to the public, not for public release, says executive

Microsoft is apparently testing new features for Windows 11 File Explorer that will show ads in the future. However, this feature is not intended for the current release, and a Microsoft executive said it was not intended for public release despite the person’s actions. Ads in File Explorer are something new for Windows, and this could be something that examines the possibility of commercial enterprise.

Microsoft Windows 11: Ads in File Explorer Leaks

An online backer and insider showed concrete evidence of a new feature in Microsoft Windows 11 that offers ads on File Explorer. According to Florian Beauboisthe feature would be something that users would not appreciate with Microsoft’s version, especially since it is a relatively new feature and has never been seen before.

Ads are dark blue color which appears in the top menu bar of File Explorer, and it might be too much for a user once seen when exiting. Plus, it talks about another Microsoft product to use. Still, it’s unclear if the feature will be available for other purposes, and one of those is commercial availability for it.

Windows 11 announcements: not intended for public presentation

Brandon LeBlanc, senior program manager for Windows, said (via The edge) that the feature was not intended for public view as it is not yet available to the company for wide release. However, it has already leaked and Microsoft is already putting out fires for the feature, which the public aren’t supposed to see from its debut.

Windows 11 from Microsoft

There are various features that the Windows 11 operating system brings to the table, and there are other leaks that focus on upcoming aspects of the operating system for a better experience. One feature would be Windows 11 File Tabs in Explorer, and it’s like the “New Tab” in macOS Finder that puts two or more accesses to folders and locations in a single window.

The new file tabs are still a leak that showed up in Microsoft’s latest release.

The Sun Valley update for Microsoft is coming later this week, and it’s something Windows 11 is rolling out to bring to the update-enabled computer. The Redmond giant wants the 22H2 version to provide the new version of the operating system for the Windows platform, being the last major update from Microsoft since its release.

Windows 11 is currently testing several publicly available features, and it’s seen a variety of mixed reviews for its new File Explorer ads that bring a banner above the window for files. The Redmond giant didn’t want that to happen, but it has already given the public an idea that it can do it, not limited to Windows features.
