    Hi Nathaniel BOWEN-ATKINSON,

    Feedback Hub should generally be available on a supported Windows 11 Education device. If you cannot find it under Start, please check whether it can be installed from the Microsoft Store.

    On a device managed by a school or organization, Feedback Hub or Microsoft Store access may be restricted by an administrator. You would need to check with the organization’s IT department if installation is blocked.

    Could you clarify whether Feedback Hub is completely missing, fails to open, or displays an error? That detail would help determine whether this is a missing installation or an organizational policy restriction. Thank you so much for your understanding.

    Use Microsoft’s Feedback web portal as the browser-based alternative to Feedback Hub; for a problem requiring troubleshooting or a direct response, use the Get Help app instead.

    Submit feedback through a browser

    1. Open the Microsoft Feedback portal.
    2. Sign in and select the forum for the relevant Microsoft product, if it is listed.
    3. Search for an existing report and upvote or comment on it.
    4. If no matching report exists, submit new feedback with:
      • One issue or suggestion per submission
      • Your Windows 11 edition, version, and build
      • Reproduction steps and expected versus actual behavior
      • Screenshots or logs, with personal information removed

    The portal supports browsing, voting, commenting, and creating feedback in the available product forums. Public submissions display the submitting user name. ^1^

    If Windows is not offered as a forum there, the portal cannot be assumed to replace Feedback Hub for that particular Windows report.

    If you need the problem fixed

    Open Start, search for Get Help, and describe the problem there. Microsoft distinguishes these purposes:

    • Bug reports, suggestions, and tracking feedback: Feedback Hub
    • Immediate troubleshooting or direct assistance: Get Help or Microsoft Support ^2^

    Feedback Hub on Windows 11 Education

    Windows 11 Education is not generally excluded from Feedback Hub. Microsoft documents Feedback Hub policies that apply specifically to Education, and current Education-related Windows preview documentation directs users to submit through Win + F. ^3^

    If this is a school-managed device, access may instead be affected by organizational configuration:

    • Ask the school’s IT administrator whether Feedback Hub or Microsoft Store apps are restricted.
    • If organizational sign-in is blocked, the administrator may need to approve Feedback Hub in Microsoft Entra. ^4^
    • If the app was merely removed and Microsoft Store access is permitted, reinstall Feedback Hub from its Microsoft Store listing. ^5^

    A policy that hides public or community feedback does not necessarily stop submission to Microsoft; feedback can remain private and still be delivered to Microsoft. ^3^
