Hi everyone,

I have just about to log off for the night when I noticed that the Recommended section is missing from my Start menu. Is this a result of the CU preview KB5074828 or KB5074831?

start menu wo recommended.webp

Kind regards,

Hi Sinto,

It's grey out on account I implemented the Remove Recommended Section... tutorial, but that still left the section although no recommendation were made. I don't have a screenshot of that Start menu, dang.

Kind regards,

In the tutorial you cited, is the procedure to add it back if you have removed it.

Hi HeavyHemi,

Yes, there are instructions to add it back. However, I am glad it is completely gone. I thought it strange since the Recommended Section did not completely disappear after going through the tutorial (which I did years ago) until now all of a sudden. I'm just wondering if anyone else had this happen too.

Thanks, nonetheless.

Kind regards,

tecknot
