The Feedback Hub on your computer is an app specifically designed by Microsoft to allow users to communicate directly with the company about their experience using Windows.
Essentially, the Feedback Hub app lets you tell Microsoft about any problems you run into while using Windows 11 or Windows 10. It's also the primary channel for users to send suggestions to help us improve your Windows experience.
Why Use the Feedback Hub?
Using the Feedback Hub is a direct way to influence the development and improvement of the Windows operating system. By submitting feedback, you help Microsoft identify:
- Bugs and issues that need fixing.
- Areas where the user interface is confusing.
- Features that users want or need.
- Performance problems.
Your feedback, combined with that from millions of other users, provides valuable data that Microsoft uses to prioritize fixes and new features in Windows updates.
What Kind of Feedback Can You Provide?
You can submit various types of feedback through the app:
- Reporting a Problem: Detail specific issues you encounter, like an app crashing, a feature not working as expected, or performance slowdowns. You can often include diagnostic data or screenshots to help Microsoft understand the issue better.
- Making a Suggestion: Propose new features, suggest changes to existing ones, or recommend improvements to the overall Windows experience.
Here's a simple breakdown:
| Action | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Report Problem | Highlight something broken or wrong |
| Make Suggestion | Propose an idea for improvement or new functionality |
