Heya,

I've already answered this in a seperate discussion thread, but I'll just copy it here:

This option was removed due to the new start menu that's rolling out with 25H2. This made it so the old way to remove the recommended section no longer works. If you do still have the old start menu you can still remove the recommended section by running the script with the -DisableStartRecommended parameter. Example:

& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm "https://debloat.raphi.re/"))) -DisableStartRecommended

The new start menu has multiple settings for all the things that are shown in the recommended section and most of those are already disabled by the script, such as the Show recommendations for tips, shortcuts, new apps and more option.

Unfortunately there are also a few other settings that tie into a lot of different features for the Taskbar and Windows Explorer, which makes it a bit tricky to add. For example, fully disabling the recommended section also disables jumplists when you rightclick apps on the taskbar. These jumplists show recently opened files for programs like Word or recently closed windows in your browser.
