For users with Copilot+ PCs, Microsoft recently introduced a new settings page in Windows 11 (build 26120.3576) under Settings > Apps > Actions. This page allows users to manage which apps can have actions recommended in the context menu.

The feature is not currently available to all users. However, it may be released to all users shortly.
