System Add or Remove Suggested Apps in Share dialog in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off showing suggested apps in the Share dialog for your account in Windows 11.

Windows Share in Windows 11 allows you to quickly share a link or file(s) with an app, email, nearby device, or phone.

Starting with Windows 11 build 26300.8346 (Experimental 25H2) and build 26220.8340 (Beta 25H2), the Windows ShareSheet just got smarter for AAD users. You can now discover and install relevant apps right where you share - no need to jump to the Microsoft Store or interrupt your flow. Previously available only to MSA users, this experience now extends to AAD accounts, bringing greater flexibility and convenience. You’re also in control, with a simple setting to turn promotional app recommendations on or off. The result is a faster, more seamless, and user-controlled sharing experience with helpful app suggestions exactly when you need them.

An experimental feature is available to Windows Insiders in the builds above that allows you to turn on or off showing suggested apps in share experience.
