Microsoft testing recommendations in File Explorer

Microsoft has started testing a File Recommendation system in File Explorer to suggest documents and folders that users may want to open towards the top of the window.

In a blog post, the company specifies that the feature is currently only available to select Windows Insiders who have installed the Windows 11 Preview Build 23403 update.

Google Drive shows a selection of recent/proposed documents at the top. Looks very similar to the screenshot in the piece.
Disclaimer: I have not used Explorer in 20 years. Where I do use Windows, Total Commander is the second piece of software I install after Firefox.
