Starting in Microsoft Insider Preview build 25115, Windows 11 includes a new feature called Suggested Actions. This makes your everyday tasks easier in Windows 11 through inline suggested actions. For example, when you select and copy a date, time, or phone number, Windows will offer activities relevant to you, such as creating calendar events or making phone calls with your favorite apps.
When you copy a phone number or date/time on pages or within apps, Windows will pop up an inline light dismissible UI that suggests ways to call the phone number using Teams or create the event using the calendar app.
The Suggested Action flyout includes the apps that can perform anything useful on the copied data. For a phone number, it may consist of Teams, Phone Link, and other suitable apps. For date or time, it may include Calendar, Outlook, etc. However, if you are not happy with this feature, you can disable Suggested Actions in Windows 11.
