The software maker will use the Recommended section of the Start menu, which usually shows file recommendations, to suggest apps from the Microsoft Store.

Do any windows users remember in like 2019 when they had the offline search in the start menu that was such a beast? It could find anything inside the contents of any document on the computer almost instantaneously, use booleans, search metadata and everything. We had no idea at the time that was peak start menu. It's all been downhill.
