Engadget warns Windows 11 users that Microsoft is " exploring the idea" of putting ads in their Start menu. Sort of... To be specific, it's looking to place advertisements for apps you can find in the Microsoft Store in the menu's recommended section.... At the moment, Microsoft will only show ads in this version if you're in the US and a Windows Insider in the Beta Channel.
