Microsoft embarrasses itself with Windows 10 pop-up that hogs the desktop urging an upgrade to Windows 11 – then promptly crashes

Microsoft recently released a pop-up message encouraging Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11. However, reports indicate that the pop-up is causing some devices to crash, which is seen as a mishap for Microsoft. The pop-up prompts users to prepare for the end of support for Windows 10 by October 2025 and suggests using the Windows Backup app to transfer files to Windows 11. Unfortunately, the pop-up freezes and becomes unresponsive for some users, displaying an error message. This incident reflects negatively on Microsoft’s push for Windows 11 upgrades, especially considering the existing bugs in Windows 11 24H2. This unexpected crash is a first-time occurrence with nag screens in Windows, and Microsoft will likely work to resolve the issue promptly to avoid such mistakes in the future.
