How to disable Suggested actions on Windows 11

On Windows 11, “Suggested actions” is a feature that brings up an inline menu to create a calendar event or make a phone call when you copy a date, time, or phone number to the clipboard. For example, if you copy a phone number, the flyout suggests making the call with Microsoft Teams or other apps. Coping a date or time will suggest creating a calendar event, and when you choose the app, the event will create with all the information already filled in.

Although this can be a convenient feature for some people to perform specific actions, it’s not for everyone, and if this isn’t for you, you can turn the feature off from the Settings app.

In this guide, I’ll outline the steps to disable (and enable) Suggested actions on Windows 11.

• Disable Suggested actions on Windows 11
