Windows 11 has introduced some great features for businesses, and Microsoft continues to refine the experience. One area that has frustrated many users is the Recommendations section in the Start menu. Instead of offering relevant suggestions, it often displays random or unhelpful items.
If you’ve found yourself ignoring this feature, you’re not alone—but a fix is on the way.
What is the Recommendations Feature?
The Recommendations section is designed to provide quick access to apps, files, and websites that Windows predicts you’ll need next. In theory, it should help you pick up where you left off—whether that’s reopening a document you were working on yesterday or launching an app you use regularly.
While the idea is promising, the execution has been lacking. Many users have found the suggestions unreliable, leading them to overlook the feature entirely.
What’s Changing?
Microsoft is rolling out updates to make Recommendations smarter and more useful. These improvements, currently in testing, refine how Windows determines what’s relevant to you.
Early feedback suggests the new version does a better job of displaying frequently used apps and recently accessed files, making it a more practical tool for busy professionals.
A Step in the Right Direction
If you’ve been frustrated by the Start menu’s lack of useful suggestions, these updates should be a welcome change. Keep an eye out for improvements as they roll out to Windows 11 users.
