Windows 10 users will stop seeing annoying Windows 11 upgrade pop up for now

Microsoft decided to stop annoying users after many complaints

I have Windows Update Blocker .... and I never have and never will see that pop-up.

A lot of windows 10 cannot be upgraded ie not the correct hardware.

Nice, and I also see less after modifying group policies.

Annoying users that have computers that are not eligable to upgrade is stupid to the extreme. Don't show these adds to people can't upgrade due to systems not meeting the minimum standards for windows 11!

Thank heavens MS stopped that! That was annoying. My employers IT dept. has blatantly told me that they are holding off on the OS update to Win 11 until the absolute last day (and then maybe a tiny bit more.)They did the same thing for Win 7 EOL. I don't need the hassle of two different OS between home and work so I'm holding my upgradable Dell desktop (i-3 8100) Win 11 update until much closer to Oct 2025. The two other machines (i-3 2120 and AMD A4-1250) aren't technically Win 10 supported but have been running win 10 for a while. Late next year I may try the rufus bypass to see if I can get Win 11 to run on them. No loss if it doesn't work.

I’m gonna answer a couple comments from a couple different videos in here. First of all this one. I do agree with the one comment or who is saying that for the non-eligible machines well what I should say is the machines that can’t get the update the normal way. We can all get it most of us if we do the tricks to get around the requirements. But in the normal way, yes, there’s a lot of us who can’t get windows 11 in the so-called normal way as I call it. But here’s what I think. Realizing that you can’t all get it, they had to do some modifications and this is good. I’m happy to see that Microsoft is realizing that thanks to the businesses and other people, that this is something that just will not be able to fly so thanks for these communities for putting a stop to it. Now, onto something closely related. If within the other recent video talking about the pricing between Microsoft plans for extended support for home users, though I understand that you may think that Microsoft might not do it, but it strikes me as interesting that they’re not announcing it until so close to the end date of the operating system, I don’t know when windows seven extends saporte. But what if we’re seeing a situation here where there’s a compromise situation windows 10 may be at 50% next year so maybe what they’ll do is they announce some pricing plan but maybe they’ll give the general population one more year of Windows 10 support for free so another words updated to 2026 rather than 2025 so October 2026 that means they’ll be two more years left so maybe they will compromise and say will give you one more year of Windows 10 but, that’s it if you want Windows 10 from 2006 to 2028 then maybe you’ll have to do the One payment and then double payment the next. I don’t know that’s just an idea so maybe that’s another reason why they’re waiting on the announcement that they’re looking at other scenarios. This is just my prediction or my idea out there out there if anyone thinks that may be a possibility. But that would be nice. That would be like a compromise. Another possibility that could be floating out there again this is just my opinion. This is no real solid fact, but this is just my opinion, is that maybe Microsoft is going to do something that will allow windows 11 machines that are eligible for windows 11 to pay for extended support but for those machines that are not eligible, which is a good bit of them, maybe they will give those machines free windows 10 support till 2028. That would be the smart thing for Microsoft to do another compromised situation. Those machines that are un eligible for windows 11 we will give you three more years of extended support of Windows 10, those machines that are eligible to run Windows 11, will have to either option one by extended support, option two, use patch zero? Option three, run unsupported or option four, move on to Windows 11. So I’m hoping that that’s another scenario out there that’s being discussed so I hope that, Microsoft will do something that’ll satisfy or at least of the very least compromise it users base to make sure that customers are indeed happy
