Windows 11 from Microsoft introduces several graphical changes compared to its predecessor. One of the more controversial changes is the new Start menu, due in part to the Recommended field, which can display content such as recently used files and recently installed programs. Users can change what is displayed in the field, but it cannot be turned off completely. Now the recommendations can be expanded.
In the latest Windows 11 beta A new situation is on the horizon which expands on the recommendations offered in the Start menu with tips, shortcuts, suggestions for new programs, and “more”. What this means in practice is currently unknown, as some question marks indicate how programs are chosen to be recommended, and what tips may appear in the start menu.
The bigger question mark is what “more” refers to in context. One possibility is that it is moving back towards ad-like content, something Microsoft has been doing recently Try to implement it in the start menu. Then the feature was withdrawn after a wave of criticism from the testers, and it is possible that a similar response awaits the company this time.
Questions about new recommendations for the start menu will not be answered for a while, as they are currently in an early stage and need to be activated manually. It remains to be seen when and if the functionality appears in the regular version of Windows 11, as well as what the implementation looks like after that.
