Microsoft There is a new entry in the deprecated features list Windows. Unfortunately, it’s not something old and long gone like the 15-year-old backup solution that Microsoft still offers to users.

The proposed actions came two years ago as part of body 25115. The idea was simple: let it go Windows 11 It recognizes basic things like phone numbers and date/time to provide shortcuts for calendar functions like phone calls, web searches, or creating events. Unfortunately, although it may seem useful to some, Microsoft has decided to disable recommended features in Windows 11 without much explanation.

Here’s what the company says in official documents:

The suggested actions that appear when copying a phone number or a future date in Windows 11 are deprecated and will be removed in a future Windows 11 update.

There is no information on when the recommended actions will be removed from the operating system; so you may still have some time for Microsoft to pull the add-on.

It’s quite surprising to see Microsoft discontinue a relatively new feature of Windows 11 so early. You can guess that the suggested actions were not very popular among users and the company decided to remove them.

Some of the other recently discontinued Windows features include support for Android apps, Paint 3D (which you can still get if you want, by the way), Windows Speech Recognition, a tooltip, steps recorder, WordPad (also restorable). and more You can see the full list of deprecated Windows features in the official support document.
