Microsoft tests Windows 11 Start menu’s smart snap suggestions, PC specs guide FAQ in Settings

Microsoft is testing new features for Windows 11, including smart snap suggestions in the Start menu and an FAQ section in the Settings menu. The Start menu will soon include recommendations for frequently snapped applications, aimed at improving multitasking. These 'snap group' recommendations are expected to be part of Windows 11 24H2, with the potential for users to pin suggested configurations to the taskbar. Additionally, the Settings menu will introduce "Cards" in the System > About section, allowing users to view essential PC specifications like storage, GPU, RAM, and processor details. An FAQ section will accompany this feature, addressing common questions about PC hardware, particularly for beginners.

Windows 11 users get ready for more ‘recommendations’ from Microsoft – but I’m relieved to say these suggestions might actually be useful

Microsoft is testing enhancements for Windows 11 in the Beta channel (build 22635.5025), focusing on the Start menu and File Explorer. The Start menu will now suggest applications that users frequently snap together, such as WhatsApp and File Explorer. File Explorer will feature a 'Recommended' files section on its Home page, displaying recently accessed or downloaded files. These features will not be available to users in the European Economic Area (EEA). Additionally, Microsoft has fixed a performance issue where users experienced delays when closing File Explorer using the 'X' button.

Microsoft begins promoting Windows 11 24H2 on Windows 10 to push migration

Windows 11 version 24H2 is being promoted as a free upgrade for Windows 10 users, with Microsoft displaying a banner on Windows 10 systems to encourage the transition. The installation of Windows 11 24H2 can be initiated by clicking the download button on the banner. Microsoft plans to introduce updated banners as the end-of-support deadline for Windows 10 approaches. Windows 10 users can extend their support for an additional year after the official end date of October 14, 2025, for a fee, while businesses can access a three-year Extended Security Update program. Not all versions of Windows 10 will lose support on October 14, 2025, with specific end-of-support timelines for different versions outlined. Transitioning to Windows 11 24H2 is necessary to avoid the upgrade fee.
