Microsoft says you weren?t supposed to see those Windows 11 File Explorer ads



Credit: Robert Triggs / Android Authority


  • 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.
