    Its done that since launch. You can turn this off though.

    Go to settings > personalisation > start

    Then disable “Show recommandations for tips, shortcuts, new apps and more”

    I disabled recommendations almost immediately.

    But surprise surprise. Instead of it giving you more room for pinned start menu icons, it still shows the Recommended section and basically says “Click here to turn on recommendations in Settings” So stupid.

  3. Debloat your windows. Plenty of tools at Github

    You can turn all that shit off during installation/setup. Read what those options actually do before you just tick the box and move on ffs.
