Windows 11 has introduced some great features for businesses, and Microsoft is continuously 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 expecting helpful suggestions, only to be met with random, irrelevant recommendations, you’re not alone.
The good news? A fix is on the way!
What Is the Windows 11 Recommendations Feature?
The Recommendations section in the Start menu is designed to predict what you’ll need next based on your recent activity. Ideally, it should surface apps, files, and websites you frequently use, making it easier to pick up where you left off.
✅ In theory, it’s a time-saving tool.
❌ In practice, many users find it unreliable and unhelpful.
Instead of showing relevant suggestions—like a file you worked on yesterday or your most-used apps—many users report seeing random or outdated items, making the feature more frustrating than useful.
What’s Changing?
Microsoft has started rolling out updates to improve the Recommendations feature—currently in testing—and early feedback is very promising.
🔹 Smarter AI-driven suggestions based on actual user behavior
🔹 More relevant files, apps, and websites displayed in the Start menu
🔹 A better user experience that makes finding what you need faster and easier
If you’ve ignored the Recommendations section in the past, it might be worth giving it another shot once these updates are fully rolled out.

These updates are a step in the right direction, but Windows 11 has many other powerful features designed to boost productivity.
