Microsoft is Improving Windows 11’s Start Menu Recommendations
Windows 11 has introduced great features for businesses, and Microsoft is working to make it even better.
One common frustration for users has been the Recommendations feature in the Start menu. If you have ever clicked on it expecting helpful suggestions, only to find irrelevant or random recommendations, you are not alone. The good news is that a fix is on the way.
What is the Recommendations Feature?
The Recommendations feature is designed to provide quick access to apps, files, or websites based on your past activity. Ideally, it should highlight the tools you use most, making your workflow more efficient.
In theory, this sounds great. A smarter Start menu could help businesses save time by offering instant access to frequently used resources. However, many users have found the recommendations to be inconsistent and unhelpful, leading them to ignore this part of the Start menu altogether.
What is Changing?
Microsoft is rolling out updates (currently in testing) to make Recommendations smarter and more relevant.
With these improvements:
- Windows will better understand your workflow, offering suggestions that actually align with your daily tasks.
- The Start menu will now prioritise files you recently worked on and apps you frequently use.
- Early feedback suggests the feature is already more intuitive and useful for business users.
If you have been frustrated by the Start menu, these updates could enhance your productivity and make navigating Windows 11 smoother and more efficient.
