The first ads in the Windows 11 Start menu will look familiar.
The software maker will use the Recommended section of the Start menu, which usually shows file recommendations, to suggest apps from the Microsoft Store.

This is why I use Start11
Not to worry MS is coming for shell customizations, too. https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-is-blocking-windows-11-build-upgrades-on-systems-with-startallback/
Start11 will probably last a bit longer because it uses only documented APIs but I don't trust em
Edit: there's also the possibility these ads get injected straight into the official APIs, in which case start11 would just show them as well.
