The company now show nags that take over the whole screen
Earlier this year, Microsoft started showing Windows 10 upgrade notifications on Windows 7 computers in order to make sure that everyone was aware of the free offer that was available to those running a previous version of the operating system.
But in the last few weeks, the company has become a little bit more aggressive with the Windows 10 upgrade, and not only that it “accidentally” flagged it as important in Windows Update (which caused the new OS to be deployed automatically on several computers without users knowing it), but it also changed the way these notifications are being displayed.
Business Insider writes that the Windows 10 upgrade notifications are now taking over the whole screen “with no obvious way to turn them off,” which could make it harder for beginners to avoid the install.
While there's a big red “X” button in the right top corner, which pretty much helps you close the upgrade notification, displaying a full-screen notification is certainly annoying, and for the moment, there's indeed no way to stop them from showing up once again after a reboot.
