Windows 10: Windows Share to suggest Sharing Services in Windows 11

Windows Share will soon suggest sharing services in Windows 11 that are not installed. Microsoft introduced the new feature in beta builds of Windows 11.

Windows Share is the native share feature of the Windows operating system. It works similarly to share services on mobile devices and other operating systems.

Select the share icon to get a list of options. On Windows, this includes a list of installed applications and connected services of the logged in user. Share may also suggest people to share to directly, but this depends on the list of contacts of the user.

Windows Share: suggested applications




Windows Share will soon suggest other services and applications, even if these are not installed. Microsoft demonstrated the functionality recently with Whatsapp.

The share menu displayed four installed apps -- Outlook, Feedback Hub, Microsoft Teams and Snipping Tool -- and WhatsApp, which was not installed on the device. The "install" label underneath WhatsApp indicates this to the user.

Please note that visuals may change before the feature lands in stable versions of the Windows 11 operating system.

Microsoft describes the feature in the following way: "The Windows share window now supports sharing with WhatsApp under the “Share using” section. If you don’t have WhatsApp installed, you can choose to install it from Windows share window directly. Over time, we plan to try this experience out with other apps as well."

For now, the feature is limited to WhatsApp, a popular messaging application by Meta. WhatsApp is included in the Share menu if it is installed now, or its installation is suggested to users when they open the share menu.

Microsoft revealed no details on the integration. One likely assumption is that only Microsoft Store apps will be suggested to users. This limits potential sharing services to those available on the Microsoft Store. For now, only WhatsApp is suggested to test the functionality.

Closing Words


The share feature of Windows 11 is an optional tool. While it may speed up sharing for some users, others may prefer to share directly. This can be done by opening installed apps or websites manually to paste files or content into messages or mails.

Securing Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 services HOW TO

I will try changing their settings sometime, the one thing I've noticed about this guide is that it doesn't list the Windows services that NEED to be left as local system, so some people might not be too sure what they're doing and worry about any that aren't listed. Just a suggestion that you might want to include in any future revisions. *Smile

The non-default ones I have that you have not listed are:

.Net Runtime Optimization Service v2.0.50727_X86
Ati HotKey Poller
ATI Smart
AVG E-mail Scanner
AVG7 Alert Manager Server
AVG7 Update Service
BlueSoleil Hid Service
Bluetooth Support Service
ewido anti-spyware 4.0 guard
iPod Service
Messenger Sharing USN Journal Reader Service
Service Layer
Windows Defender Service

The problem is that the only ones of these I actually use are The AVG and Windows Defender services and occasionally the "Service Layer" service (related to Nokia PC Suite) and the "Messenger Sharing USN Journal Reader Service" (related to WindowsLive Messenger). Anyway, I'll see how much I can secure those and post back how I get on. I'll try to test it sometime this week just I'm a bit waring of changing the AVG settings because the only way to test if it was still working would be for a virus to be detected... and I' rather I didn't get viruses!
