It can display ad-like prompts to set up OneDrive, sign in with a Microsoft Account, back up files (in OneDrive, of course), or complete your profile. Microsoft thinks it is an excellent idea to place various Settings-related alerts in the menu that appears on the screen when you click your profile on the Start menu. Still, those IDs are buried deep inside the operating system, leaving Edge and Bing the only default option.
Hidden feature IDs in Windows 11 show that the company is considering allowing users to use the Suggested Actions in conjunction with other browsers. To be fair, Microsoft has yet to make up its mind. Of course, Bing-only and Microsoft Edge-only. Selecting text in Windows 11 now displays a small banner with a button allowing you to search the internet. Therefore, the latest improvements to the Suggested Actions feature are yet another way to shove Edge down users' throats. Microsoft does not want to deal with the fact that some users prefer browsers other than Edge. Here is a guide detailing how to disable Search Highlights in Windows 11 Dev builds for those who also do not like this feature.
Apart from confusing the users with constantly changing graphics, those highlights create an illusion of extra misaligned apps on the taskbar-a place I carefully curate and keep sanitized just for my most frequently used applications. I like the new Windows Search box on the Start menu, but I wouldn't say I have the same feelings toward Search Highlights (small images representing holidays and other events) Microsoft places in that box. Why would anyone want to click a website after opening the Start menu where users place their hand-picked apps? Luckily, you can force-disable website recommendations in the Start menu, as our dedicated guide describes. Moreover, the company is pressing on with the idea to the extent of displaying ad-like recommendations of various websites.īesides being plain annoying, this change clashes with the purpose of the Start menu. Microsoft stubbornly refuses to give up and allow users to disable the "Recommended" section on the Start menu. Update: Microsoft decided to ditch this idea.
