The “Start” menu displays a poster periodically that offers a substitute copy of the data. In fact, this is marketing that aims to promote paid Microsoft 365 subscription, we talk more about it, not about functionality. Of course, it is impossible to create a spare copy without a paid subscription in OneDrive.
Advertising notifications are equipped with a text message: “It is recommended that you back up your PC.” When passing the recommended link, the user will be directed to the Microsoft 365 subscription page of $ 5 per month. The free option OneDrive provides only 5 GB of cloud storage that is not enough to create a complete backup.
At the same time, the connection of all the relevant parameters in the system settings does not close the ad. If the synchronization of the PC with OneDrive is not enabled, the posters appear automatically and heal after restarting the computer.
However, there is no such warning in the European version of Windows 11. This may show differences in the policy of exhibiting advertising materials depending on the region.
