Microsoft has quietly paused the rollout of two upcoming File Explorer features for Windows 11.
The Recommended Files section, which was first spotted on enterprise PCs and later expanded to consumer builds, was supposed to show recently used or downloaded files with large thumbnails at the top of File Explorer’s Home tab.
It could also surface shared OneDrive and cloud documents for quick access.
You had the option to turn it off in settings, but the feature started showing up for everyone from October 28 before Microsoft halted its expansion on November 5.
The company didn’t explain why, only updating the changelog to say these features will “roll out at a future date.”
