Windows 11 is getting a new Task Manager design
Task Manager hasn’t been overhauled for nearly 10 years.www.theverge.com
“This was an experimental banner that was not intended to be published externally and was turned off,” says Brandon LeBlanc, senior program manager for Windows, in a statement to The Verge.
As The Verge notes, "we didn't mean for anyone to see that" is not a promise to never run ads in Windows Explorer.
Of course, Microsoft is still Microsoft, which means Windows 11 will continue trying to impose Edge in other ways. Changing the default browser in Windows 11 using the updated Settings app does not affect specific formats. For example, Edge will remain the default app for opening PDF, SHTML, SVG, FTP, and other web-related files. Also, you still need third-party tweakers to open links in Windows Widgets in a browser other than Microsoft Edge.
