Microsoft tests new option to turn off Start menu recommendations on Windows 11
You may soon have more control over Start menu recommendations on Windows 11. According to leaks, the recently released Windows 11 Insider Dev Build 25309 has a hidden control that should allow users to decide whether to get a recommendation.
The Start Menu is one of the most important elements of the Windows system and it is undeniable that Microsoft is trying to make the most of it by introducing its suggestions in this location. However, these suggestions can cause headaches for many people sometimes (or most of the time). Thankfully, there's a chance that the new options Microsoft is testing may end in the future. According to Windows enthusiast and leaker @PhantomOfEarth, the hidden control is included in Dev Build 25309. This version comes with a bunch of new features and improvements, but this hidden option steals the spotlight.
The control appears as a toggle button in Settings > Personalization > Start and lets you decide whether to " Shows suggestions for tips, shortcuts, new apps, and more." However, as mentioned above, it remains hidden (ID: 42916428), but those Insiders interested in testing it can activate it using ViveTool. Once activated, the option's toggle button will hide unnecessary suggestions, which could mean a cleaner Start menu. Also, it's unclear whether the new option includes Microsoft's advertising and other suggestions.
Additionally, while this discovery may be exciting to many, its presence in Build 25309 does not guarantee a future full release. Just like with other tests, Microsoft may include or exclude it from future releases, or even decide not to release it entirely. Given that Microsoft heavily uses the Start menu section to push its products and services to users, the possibility of it launching in GA sounds almost impossible.
The above is the detailed content of Microsoft tests new option to turn off Start menu recommendations on Windows 11. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
