Microsoft’s fixing this annoying Windows 11 fault

Windows 11 has introduced some excellent features for businesses, and Microsoft is working to enhance them further.

Many of us find the Recommendations feature in the Start menu challenging. If you've ever clicked on it hoping for useful suggestions but found irrelevant ones, you're not alone. Fortunately, a solution is on the horizon.

Let's first understand the purpose of the Recommendations feature.

It is designed to display apps, files, or websites that Windows predicts you'll want to access next, based on your previous usage. For instance, any frequently used apps or websites should appear in your Recommendations for easy access.

Sounds handy, right? If it functioned effectively, it could become a favorite time-saving tool for busy teams. However, with suggestions often seeming random and unhelpful, many of us have been ignoring this part of the Start menu.

So, what's changing?

Microsoft has begun rolling out updates (currently in testing) to significantly enhance the intelligence of Recommendations.

They've refined how Windows determines what's relevant to you. Early feedback indicates the updated feature is much better at displaying what you actually need – like the file you were working on yesterday or the app you use most during work hours.

If the Start menu has frustrated you in the past, watch for these improvements. They represent progress in the right direction.
