OneDrive’s latest update on Windows 11 now requires users to provide reasons for quitting the app, without which you cannot close the app.
This is the latest tactic from Microsoft to promote its services within Windows heavily.
Update: Microsoft has reverted the changes.
Update, November 10, 2023 (07:03 AM ET): Microsoft has shared with The Verge that it has reverted the changes. OneDrive no longer forces customers to provide feedback, and the app can be closed normally.
Original article, November 10, 2023 (05:56 AM ET): OneDrive is a good competitor to Google Drive, and it makes a lot of sense for Microsoft Office and business users deep into Microsoft’s ecosystem of apps. OneDrive users also benefit from the app’s heavy integration with Windows 11. However, OneDrive may not be everyone’s prime choice, even if Windows 11 is, so they end up closing the app to stop it from taking up system resources. But Microsoft doesn’t seem particularly happy about this, and now it wants answers on why exactly you are closing OneDrive.
