Windows 10: Turn On or Off App Suggestions in Share flyout in Windows 10

How to: Turn On or Off App Suggestions in Share flyout in Windows 10


Information The Windows sharing experience in Windows 10 allows you to share web pages in Microsoft Edge from installed UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps such as Mail, Twitter, OneNote, Cortana Reminders, Facebook, etc...

Starting with Windows 10 build 15002, Microsoft has redesigned the Windows sharing experience to be more app-focused and integrated with where you are sharing from. The new Windows Share experience will pop-up the new share flyout within the app you are sharing from and give you a list of applications you can share to. This list changes based on your usage.

Starting with Windows 10 build 15042:

• The new Share icon is now visible in Microsoft Edge and the Windows Ink Workspace Sketchpad and Screen Sketch.
• If you right-click an app suggestion in Share, you’ll now find a context menu option to turn them off.

This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off showing app suggestions in the Share flyout for your account in Windows 10.

EXAMPLE: On and Off Show app suggestions in Share flyout






Here's How:

1. While sharing a web page in Microsoft Edge, etc..., right click or press and hold on any app in the Share flyout, and click/tap on Show app suggestions to check (on - default) or uncheck (off) it for what you want. (see screenshot below)






That's it,
Shawn

Hello BreadedChicken, and welcome to Ten Forums.

The Occasionally show suggestions in Start setting is only for the Suggested apps shown in the All Apps list in the Start menu instead.

  on.
• Type CMD in the Search bar.
• Right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator.
• Type netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="File and Printer Sharing" new enable=Yes, and hit
  Enter.
• Exit from the command prompt, and check if it will work.

If issue persists, try turning it on using Powershell, and check if it works. Here are the steps:

• Leave File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks turned
  on.
• Type Powershell in the Search bar.
• Right-click on Windows PowerShell, and select
  Run as Administrator.
