Microsoft has released an Optional Update for Windows 11, both versions 22H2 and 23H2, ahead of its general release next month. This update includes various usability enhancements and new features that were previously highlighted.
One notable addition is the inclusion of a “Recommended” section in the Start menu, suggesting interesting apps from the Microsoft Store to help users discover exciting apps. This feature serves as an advertisement platform for featured apps.
Users can opt-out of this feature by navigating to Settings > Personalization > Start and disabling the “Show recommendations” option.
Previously, Microsoft mentioned the app recommendation feature during its beta phase as a test to gather feedback and may not have been utilized in practice. However, with the inclusion of this feature in the Optional Update, it is evident that Microsoft has tested and integrated user feedback, making it an optional feature for users to utilize.
