  • This week, early testers spotted Windows 11 ads within File Explorer.
  • Microsoft has now said those ads were “an experimental banner that was not intended to be published externally and was turned off.”
  • Microsoft does not commit one way or the other to keep File Explorer ad-free.

Earlier this week, within the latest Windows 11 test build, beta users found an advertisement in File Explorer. Twitter user @flobo09 posted a screenshot of the ad, which promotes Microsoft’s own Editor program.

Obviously, people responded quite negatively to the idea of Windows 11 ads appearing right in Explorer. Now, via The Verge, Microsoft has issued a statement on the matter.
