Microsoft is Fixing This Frustrating Windows 11 Feature

Windows 11 has introduced some great updates for businesses, and Microsoft is still working to make it even better.

One feature that has left many users frustrated is the Recommendations section in the Start menu. If you've ever clicked on it hoping for helpful shortcuts, only to see random suggestions, you're not alone. But good news—a fix is coming!

What is the Recommendations Feature?

The idea behind Recommendations is simple: Windows 11 suggests apps, files, and websites based on what you use most. Ideally, this should save you time by putting frequently accessed items front and center.

For example, if you regularly open a certain document or use a specific app during work hours, it should show up in your Recommendations for quick access.

Sounds useful, right? Unfortunately, many users find the suggestions unhelpful or completely off the mark. Instead of surfacing relevant files and apps, Windows often displays things that make little sense. As a result, many people have just learned to ignore this section of the Start menu.

What’s Changing?

Microsoft is rolling out updates (currently in testing) to make the Recommendations feature actually useful.

The improvements focus on better predictions based on your recent activity. Early feedback suggests the new version is much smarter at showing what you really need—like the file you worked on yesterday or the app you use the most.

If you’ve been frustrated with the Start menu in the past, keep an eye out for these updates. They could make navigating Windows 11 a little smoother.
