Windows 11 has introduced some great features for businesses, but Microsoft knows there’s always room for improvement. One of the most frustrating features for many users? The Recommendations section in the Start menu.
If you’ve ever clicked on it hoping for quick access to something useful—only to be met with random and irrelevant suggestions—you’re not alone.
The good news? A fix is on the way.
What’s the Recommendations Feature Supposed to Do?
The Recommendations section is designed to help you work more efficiently by displaying:
✅ Apps you frequently use
✅ Files you recently opened
✅ Websites you visit often
In theory, it’s a time-saving tool for busy professionals. But in reality, many users have found the suggestions completely useless, leading them to ignore this feature altogether.
What’s Changing?
Microsoft is rolling out updates (currently in testing) that aim to make the Recommendations feature more accurate and relevant.
🔹 Smarter Suggestions – Windows will better understand what’s actually important to you, making recommendations more useful.
🔹 Better Timing – Files and apps will appear when you need them most (like that file you worked on yesterday or the app you use daily).
🔹 AI-Powered Learning – Microsoft is fine-tuning the algorithm based on real user feedback, so the feature continues to improve over time.
Early testers say the changes are already making a noticeable difference. So, if you’ve been frustrated with random Start menu suggestions, keep an eye out for these improvements—they’re coming soon.
