Microsoft remains busy at work pushing updates to Windows 11 in a bid to enhance its user experience, ultimately promoting productivity. As is the case with the “Suggested actions” feature.
When you have the Suggested actions feature enabled on your device, an inline menu will pop up, through which you canschedule an event and even place a phone callevery time you copy a date, time, or phone number to the clipboard.
For instance, when you copy a phone number to your clipboard, the feature will automatically suggest that you place a call using Microsoft Teams or any other app with calling support installed on your device.
The same also applies to copied dates, the flyout will suggest creating a calendar event using your default calendar app. Once you select the app, the event will automatically be created with all the required information filled in.
And while this is a neat feature that will help enhance your efficiency and effectiveness, there are some users who find it redundant and would prefer to have it disabled. There are some instances where you might just want to quickly copy a date or phone number and use it elsewhere without placing a call or scheduling an event.
