As a number of technology giants announced their withdrawal from Russia, Russian netizens faced inconvenience in their daily work and entertainment in 2022, where Microsoft also blocked Win11 downloads locally in June, but now Microsoft has suddenly given the unblock again.

According to the feedback from local users, the Microsoft Windows download page can now be accessed normally in Russia.You can download not only the latest Win11 22H2 system, but also Win10 and Win8.1 system.

Why would Microsoft change its mind? It is not known now, but some experts say that this may be Microsoft's policy adjustment for those who have already purchased Windows system, which is good for those who can not properly download Win system through the official webpage and search for third-party downloads, after all, the third-party webpage is likely to be unsafe.

In addition, Microsoft is opening the ability to download Win11 system from the web and still requires a key to activate the system.

In June, Microsoft announced that Russian users were prohibited from downloading Windows system image files or Media Creation Tool applications from its official website.This makes it impossible for many genuine Russian users to download the system as well.

However, Russia is a place full of crack gods, Microsoft's ban on downloads only makes it slightly troublesome for local netizens to download, and does not affect many people to install and use Win11.
