This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off show suggested content in the Settings app for your account in Windows 11.
Microsoft can offer you suggestions throughout Settings. This content comes in a variety of forms, and can help you discover new features within Settings, or suggest new content and apps you may find interesting.
Starting with Windows 11 build 22635.2776 (Beta), build 26002 (Canary), and build 23595 (Dev), Microsoft is rolling out account-related notifications for Microsoft accounts on the Settings homepage. A Microsoft account connects Windows to your Microsoft apps. The account backs up all your data and helps you manage your subscriptions. You can also add extra security steps to keep you from being locked out of your account. This feature displays notifications across the Start menu and Settings. You can manage Settings notifications in Settings > Privacy & security > General.
