Welcome TheresaZ,
I understand how frustrating it can be when you are frustrated by the "Recommended for you" content appearing in Windows 11 and have not been able to disable it through the settings you have already tried.
Before proceeding, could you please confirm:
- Does the "Recommended for you" appear in the Start menu, Notifications, File Explorer, or as a separate pop-up window?
- Which Windows 11 version are you using? (Settings > System > About)
In the meantime, you can try these steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
Option 1: Disable Windows tips and suggestions
- Open Settings > System > Notifications
- Scroll down and turn off Get tips and suggestions when using Windows
Option 2: Turn off personalized recommendations
- Open Settings > Privacy & security > General
- Turn off all available recommendation and advertising options
Option 3: Disable Start menu recommendations
- Open Settings > Personalization > Start
- Turn off Show recently added apps
- Turn off Show recently opened items in Start, Jump Lists, and File Explorer
Option 4: Turn off account-related notifications
- Open Settings > Personalization > Start
- Turn off Show account-related notifications occasionally in Start if available
Option 5: Disable Windows welcome experiences
- Open Settings > System > Notifications > Additional settings
- Clear Show the Windows welcome experience after updates
- Clear Suggest ways to get the most out of Windows
I hope the steps above help you deal with your issue.
