Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen GASP3DAL for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, May 15, according to WindowsLatest, Microsoft recently replaced the Weather UWP application with a Web-based MSN.com weather page on Windows 11.

PWA (CTOnews.com Progressive Web App), which is smaller and requires less bandwidth than traditional desktop or UWP applications, is becoming more and more popular because of its efficient use of caching. However, switching to PWA results in advertising and significant performance degradation for the entire weather application.

After the update, previously ad-free weather clients began to display advertising banners, a change that affected free users and Microsoft 365 subscribers. Users cannot accept "advertisements" in applications such as the weather, and many users express indignation in the feedback center.

In response to the deluge of feedback on social media and its feedback platform, Microsoft has quietly decided to withdraw its changes from its weather app home page.

This means that users will no longer encounter banner ads when visiting the home page of the weather app. However, in the test, it was observed that the ad content continued to appear on other Windows 11 weather pages, such as the forecast page and life (health and safety dashboard).

According to sources, the ads will appear in all versions of Windows Weather apps, including Windows 11 and Windows 10 platforms. The source also said that the ads will be based on interest, which means that the user's MSN history cookie will be used to display personalized ads.
