Some Windows 11 users are confused regarding how items get into the Recommended section in the Start menu. The answer is straightforward – any app, file, or folder you open automatically and instantly gets into the Recommended menu. Some files and apps may also get into the section because you use them more frequently than others. The purpose of the feature is to facilitate quick access to recent and popular items, improving user experience. In a perfect world, this feature would be highly convenient, but in reality, it often causes privacy concerns, especially among office workers.
