Windows 11 Start Menu Recommendations Are Finally Improving

Windows 11’s Start menu recommendations have been a source of frustration for many users, but Microsoft is finally rolling out a fix. If you’ve ever clicked on a suggestion only to find it irrelevant, you’re not alone. The latest update aims to make recommendations smarter and more useful for businesses.

What is the Start menu recommendations feature?

This feature is designed to help you quickly access apps, files, and websites based on your past activity. Ideally, it should suggest the documents you were working on yesterday or the apps you frequently use during work hours. However, for many, the recommendations have been random and unhelpful, making this feature more of a nuisance than a time-saver.

What’s changing in Windows 11?

Microsoft has started testing improvements that fine-tune how Windows determines what’s relevant to you. The update enhances the system’s ability to learn from your usage patterns, providing smarter and more accurate recommendations.

Early feedback suggests that these changes are a big improvement. Instead of cluttering your Start menu with unhelpful suggestions, the new system will prioritize frequently used apps and recently accessed files—exactly what the feature was meant to do from the start.

Better productivity with Windows 11

This update is a step in the right direction for making Windows 11 even more efficient for businesses. If you’ve been ignoring Start menu recommendations, it may be time to give them another try.
