Remember when we were talking about some of the upcoming Windows 11 22H2 features? So did Microsoft, and it seems like things are about to change a bit.

  • Recent Twitter leaks show that the Recommended might be moving to a new home.Microsoft apparently decided that the Start menu isn’t appropriate for it anymore.Some of the more tech-savvy users shared that it might move to the File Explorer.

We reminded you about the Recommended section in the Start menu, which will possibly get removed in future builds, due to users complaining about it.

However, the Redmond tech giant has apparently found a new place to move this annoying section. As the title suggests, Microsoft might bring Recommended to File Explorer.

Prepare for File Explorer to show recommendations

According to information leaked on Twitter, Microsoft is considering pressing on with recommended content in Windows 11.

We already have recommended apps and files in the Start menu; now prepare to see recommended files in File Explorer.

Users that kept digging out the most recent versions of the shell32.dll.mui and propsys.dll.mui file revealed a new feature in the Folder Options window.

In the privacy section on the General tab, you can apparently find a new checkbox called Show recommended content.

Other Twitter users report spotting related velocity features, IDs you can enable using the ViveTool app, but they are force-disabled in the latest Windows 11 Dev build.

For the time being, there is no extra information about this feature, so how it will work is still a mystery until Microsoft discloses more.

A few guesses are that it might show files and folders, or Microsoft could use it as another clever way to push ads.

The tech giant is no stranger to showing banners in File Explorer, and the new option could continue to do just that.

Don’t worry, you will have the opportunity (supposedly) to disable this new recommended content in File Explorer.

The Redmond tech giant considered implementing website recommendations in the Start menu and later decided to ditch the idea.

In fact, Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25272 removed websites, leaving only recommended files and apps in the Start menu.
