Windows 11 Users Forced to Upgrade Mail App to New Outlook Client, Now with Ads

It appears that Microsoft is implementing a forced upgrade for Windows 11 and Windows 10 users, transitioning them from the traditional Mail app to a new Outlook client. This move has raised concerns due to the introduction of advertisements within the new Outlook app.

Users are encountering pop-ups informing them of the transition from the Mail and Calendar apps to the new unified Outlook app. While this change is not irreversible initially, Microsoft warns users that they will eventually be switched to the new Outlook permanently, with no option to revert to the old Mail app.

This forced upgrade has sparked criticism, particularly due to the introduction of advertisements within the Outlook app. Users are expressing dissatisfaction with this development, as they may find ads intrusive and disruptive to their email experience.

The transition to the new Outlook app represents a significant change for Windows users, and the addition of advertisements has cast a shadow over the upgrade process. It remains to be seen how users will react to these changes and whether Microsoft will address concerns regarding the inclusion of ads in its email client.
