Windows 11 gets pushy with another pop-up – this time for Microsoft’s backup app – and all this is getting tiresome, frankly
Never mind backups – back off with the nag panels, Microsoft
Windows Backup does what the name suggests, providing a client to handle backing up the files on your PC, and it leverages OneDrive, Microsoft’s cloud storage locker, to do so. As the site notes, this is apparently being implemented via a server-side update (so it could automatically come to your Windows 11 machine at any time – though we’d hope it’s only showing for those who aren’t using the backup app already, of course). You can visit here if you’re genuinely curious to see how you might improve your Windows installation via Microsoft’s other services, and all this kind of messaging is confined here – and doesn’t appear unwanted in everyday use of the OS, when it officially becomes ‘nagging’ as it were.
