Microsoft Win10 device appears full-screen Microsoft 365 ads, user feedback can not bypass to enter the desktop

CTOnews.com February 4 news, according to Reddit netizens feedback, during the Win10 notebook out-of-the-box experience (OOBE), there is a full-screen Microsoft home version trial ad, the key point is that you can't skip to the desktop.

Netizens said in the post: "on this Win10 laptop, I can't get to the desktop by bypassing this full-screen Microsoft home version trial ad. I have to accept a free trial to get on the desktop, and I have to pay $100 a year after the trial period. I have obviously cancelled my subscription, but I am speechless about Microsoft's approach."

CTOnews.com learned from the screenshot that there are two options for "free trial" (Try for free) and "No, thanks" on the page. However, the user clicks the "do not try" button and is then redirected to the payment confirmation page. Users have no choice but to avoid the subsequent deduction by trying it first and then canceling it.

Netizens reminded: some users have mentioned on bilibili that the problems mentioned in this article are actually caused by Microsoft mistakenly reversing the corresponding operations of the "free trial" and "skip" buttons, not to force users to try and subscribe to Microsoft 365 for free.
