如何在“开始”菜单的“(Start Menu)推荐(Recommended)”部分中显示或隐藏项目
默认情况下，Windows 11会在“开始”菜单的“(Start Menu)推荐(Recommended)”部分中显示您最近添加的应用程序和打开的项目。它还可以在那里显示您最常用的应用程序。要从“开始”菜单(Start Menu)中隐藏这些项目，请停用以下开关：
- “显示最近添加的应用程序” - 一些用户可能会发现(“Show recently added apps”)开始菜单(Start Menu )包含他们刚刚安装的应用程序的快捷方式很有帮助。
- “显示最常用的应用程序”(“Show most used apps”) - Windows 11 分析您经常使用的应用程序，如果启用了此设置的开关，则将它们显示在开始菜单中。(Start Menu )
- “在开始、跳转列表和文件资源管理器中显示最近打开的项目”(“Show recently opened items in Start, Jump Lists, and File Explorer”) - 此设置会影响所有可以显示最近打开项目的Windows 11应用程序：(Windows 11)文件资源管理器(File Explorer)、开始菜单(Start Menu)等。
要关闭开关并(Off)重新打开(On)，只需单击或点击它。
将(Set)所有开关设置为关闭(Off)以清除“推荐(Recommended)”部分
选择在(Choose)Windows 11 开始菜单(Start Menu)上显示的文件夹
默认情况下，Windows 11开始菜单(Start Menu )仅在其左下角显示电源按钮。(Power)但是，您可以在它旁边添加几个文件夹，作为您经常访问的地方的快捷方式。要在“开始”菜单(Start Menu)中添加或删除文件夹，请单击或点击个性化选项列表中的文件夹(Folders)。
转到文件夹
您会在电源(Power)按钮旁边的“开始(Start )”上看到一长串文件夹：设置、文件资源管理器、文档、下载、音乐、图片、视频、网络(Settings, File Explorer, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos, Network)和个人(Personal )文件夹（这是您的用户帐户文件夹）。要将文件夹添加到“开始”菜单(Start Menu)，请将其开关设置为“开”(On)。要将其从Start中删除，请将其开关设置为Off。
选择要在(Choose)电源(Power)按钮旁边添加的文件夹
如果您添加所有可用的文件夹，“开始”菜单(Start Menu )会很快变得拥挤，很难将它们区分开来。因此，最好只启用您相对频繁访问的文件夹。例如，我们选择：Documents、Downloads、Pictures和Settings。看看下面的“开始菜单”的外观，“(Start Menu )推荐(Recommended)”列表中没有任何项目，只在其底部添加了几个快捷方式。干净多了，不是吗？
开始菜单(Start Menu)中没有推荐项目
提示：(TIP:)您是否知道可以将开始菜单移到左侧(move the Start Menu to the left)，就像在 Windows 10 中一样？
你喜欢Windows 11 开始菜单(Start Menu)吗？

How to personalize your Start Menu in Windows 11 -
The Windows 11 Start Menu looks and works differently from Windows 10. Gone are the tiles that most people did not like, and back are the shortcuts from the Windows 7 era. However, the differences don’t stop here, as the Windows 11 Start Menu doesn’t display only shortcuts to apps but also recently opened files, frequently used apps, and newly installed apps. If you want to change the way it looks, clear the files from its Recommended section, or add folders to the Start Menu, read this tutorial:
How the Start Menu looks in Windows 11
When you click or tap the Windows logo on the Windows 11 taskbar (also known as the Start button), you open the Start Menu. The same when you press the Windows key on the keyboard.
The Windows 11 Start Menu is pretty crowded
As you can see in the screenshot above, the Windows 11 Start Menu is split as follows:
- At the top, there is a search box where you can type keywords for things you want to find: apps, documents on your computer, settings, and other items.
- Below the search box, there is a Pinned section where you see the apps pinned by Microsoft and you. Clicking or tapping on the name or icon of an app opens it. The list displays a maximum of eighteen pinned items. However, the list may be more extensive than that. To navigate it, you can scroll it or click/tap the dots shown to the right of the Pinned section. Read how to pin to Start Menu in Windows 11.
- To the top-right corner of the Pinned section, there is an All apps button that you can press to see a list of all the apps available in Windows 11.
- Below, you see the Recommended section that includes recently added apps, your most-used apps, and recently opened items. To the right of this section, you may see a More button. When pressed, it opens a longer list with the same type of items.
- At the bottom of the Start Menu, you find your username and icon on the left and the Power button to the right.
Where do you customize the Start Menu in Windows 11?
You can customize most of the sections that make up the Start Menu. To access its personalization options, first, open Settings in Windows 11. One way to do that is to press Windows + I on the keyboard. Another is to click Start and then Settings.
Click Start and then Settings
In the Windows 11 Settings app, select Personalization on the left. On the right, scroll down to Start and click or tap on it.
Go to Personalization and then to Start
Now you see the personalization options available for the Windows 11 Start Menu. We will cover them one by one in the following sections, so keep reading this tutorial to its end.
The Personalization options for the Start Menu
How to show or hide items in the Recommended section of the Start Menu
By default, Windows 11 shows your recently added apps and opened items inside the Recommended section of the Start Menu. It can also show your most-used apps there too. To hide these items from the Start Menu, deactivate the following switches:
- “Show recently added apps” - some users may find it helpful for the Start Menu to include shortcuts to the apps they just installed.
- “Show most used apps” - Windows 11 analyzes the apps that you frequently use and shows them in the Start Menu if the switch for this setting is enabled.
- “Show recently opened items in Start, Jump Lists, and File Explorer” - this setting affects all Windows 11 apps that can show recently opened items: File Explorer, Start Menu, and so on.
To turn a switch Off and back On, just click or tap on it.
Set all switches to Off to clear the Recommended section
Choose which folders appear on the Windows 11 Start Menu
By default, the Windows 11 Start Menu only shows the Power button on its bottom-left corner. However, you can add several folders next to it to serve as quick shortcuts to places you visit frequently. To add or remove folders from the Start Menu, click or tap Folders in the list of personalization options.
Go to Folders
You see a long list of folders that can be displayed on Start next to the Power button: Settings, File Explorer, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos, Network, and Personal folder (this is your user account folder). To add a folder to the Start Menu, set its switch On. To remove it from Start, set its switch Off.
Choose which folders to add next to the Power button
If you add all the available folders, the Start Menu gets crowded quickly, making it difficult to tell them apart. Therefore, it is a good idea to enable only the folders you visit relatively frequently. For example, we chose: Documents, Downloads, Pictures, and Settings. Take a look below to see how the Start Menu looks with no items in the Recommended list and just a couple of shortcuts added on its bottom side. Much cleaner, isn’t it?
The Start Menu is clear of Recommended items
TIP: Did you know that you can move the Start Menu to the left, like in Windows 10?
Do you like the Windows 11 Start Menu?
You are probably reading this article to learn how the Windows 11 Start Menu works and see how to improve it by choosing what items are shown on it. One of the things we do not like about it is that the Pinned section doesn’t get extended when you empty the Recommended area. Therefore, you end up with plenty of empty space that doesn’t do anything useful. Hopefully, by the time Windows 11 gets finalized, Microsoft will improve this aspect.
