Feedback Hub is a universal app produced by Microsoft. It is designed to allow normal Windows users and Windows Insider users to provide feedback, feature suggestions, and bug reports for the operating system. It is available in the Microsoft Store and sometimes bundled with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
In Windows 7 betas, there was a Feedback feature in the Control Panel, and many apps had links to «Send Feedback» next to their window controls.[3] Windows 7 betas also collected telemetry.[4] In Windows 8, telemetry was still collected but there was no organized method for users to provide and aggregate feedback. This limitation famously led to Microsoft developers removing the Start button and Windows Aero despite users’ requests to leave those features in Windows.
Windows Feedback was one of the earliest new apps in Windows 10. It appeared on October 1, 2014 in the first Insider Preview, build 9841, as a method of providing suggestions for new features in Windows 10, which would not be released until July 29, 2015. Feedback could be sorted by topic and by relevance filters. Any user with a Microsoft Account could use the app. The filters included the number of Upvotes on feedback, feedback that was ranked the most «Trending», and the most recent feedback. It was not possible to directly access an HTML link to feedback from within the app. Windows Feedback did not use standard hamburger menus or back buttons in its design. Instead, the left sidebar featured levels of clickable panels and a custom back button was included in the upper left corner. Because Windows Feedback was created before standard Windows 10 controls had been made, it originally used the infrastructure of a Windows 8 app.
Windows Feedback collected telemetry and periodically asked users via a toast message to answer questions. Clicking on the toast or on the notification in the Action Center would open a questionnaire regarding a feature or app the user had been using. A common question format was a Likert scale rating for a feature and free-response text box to provide additional feedback. Questions sometimes were related to third-party apps the user was using, including Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.[5]
Windows Feedback was deprecated with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update in 2016.
The Insider Hub was designed specifically for users of the Windows Insiders program. It was preinstalled on preview builds of Windows 10 and could be manually installed on stable builds.[6]
The Insider Hub used a hamburger menu found in other apps designed specifically for Windows 10. Articles sometimes failed to align properly and bled past the right side of the app window or the user’s screen. Insider Hub was deprecated with the Anniversary Update.
Windows Feedback Hub comes pre-installed on Windows 11 as well.
Merger into Feedback Hub
[edit]
The Feedback Hub was released to Windows Insiders on March 17, 2016. It was made generally available on May 20, 2016 and could be installed alongside Windows Feedback.[7][8] It comes preinstalled on any computer with the Anniversary Update or later versions of Windows 10. It uses the same icon as Windows Feedback. Unlike Insider Hub, the Announcements and Quests articles are listed together on the home page of Feedback Hub, and they align based on available space.
Feedback Hub includes all features from its predecessors. The home view provides a search box for feedback, a count of feedback provided and upvotes received, a list of new features, options for rating the Windows build the user is currently using, and links to a user’s profile and external information about Windows.
Users can provide feedback anonymously, or log in with a Microsoft Account or Azure Active Directory account. Signing in makes it possible to sync upvotes and achievements between devices, and view feedback you’ve previously given in the My Feedback section of the app.
Like any app, Feedback Hub itself is subject to feedback. Over time the feedback receipt screen has been updated, links to feedback and announcements have been made available, and cross-platform feedback can now be viewed and commented on. For instance, a user on a Windows 10 PC can see feedback and make comments for Windows 10 Mobile; however, a user cannot create new feedback or upvote feedback for a platform he or she is not currently using.
Notable changes that have been made after users provided corresponding feedback include many new features in Mail, a Folder view in Photos, smaller sizes for Sticky Notes, and a new save icon in Sketchpad. Not every piece of feedback is accepted, and a higher number of upvotes does not automatically make a feature change more likely to happen. Feature requests explicitly declined by Microsoft engineers include bringing Windows Media Center to Windows 10 and eliminating automatic sign-in in Skype Preview and other apps. Nonetheless, upvotes indicate how many users agree with a piece of feedback.[9]
On 24 December 2021, Neowin reported that the Feedback Hub is rigged. Neowin claimed that Microsoft silently deletes upvotes. Following reports from its readers, Neowin monitored the top 11 requested features for Windows 11 and observed that these items lost thousands of votes between 3 December to 24 December. The #1 feature has lost 9,634 votes. It is not possible to downvote requests in Feedback Hub, hence they claim this is not a user-triggered action.[10]

Windows 11/10 has an app called Feedback Hub app. It can be used to send feedback to the team working on Windows 11/10. It can also be used to report problems to the Windows team. Also, you can view what are other users posting as feature requests.
How to submit feedback about Windows 11/10
If you can’t wait to lay your hands on the Windows Feedback app, you can set your computer to receive Insider builds. Doing so will download updates that are yet to be tested by masses, and you may face some bugs. I won’t suggest using Insider Builds on your regular computer but if you wish to go ahead anyway, here is how to turn on Insider Builds in Windows.
Feedback HUB is an application in Windows that allows users to send their experience. You can quickly launch it by pressing the WIN key + F but don’t be surprised, as using a keyboard will ask you to input feedback. Also, attach a screenshot of the screen.
Feedback HUB in Windows 11 offers four broad sections. It includes Feedback, Announcements, Quests, and Achievements. While the last two are made to help users know more features and give points, the former two are helpful.
Feedback Hub app in Windows 10
The Windows 10 Feedback Hub App can be launched in the following two ways:
- Click on Window icon to open the Start Menu
- Click All Apps
- Look for Feedback Hub
- Click on Feedback Hub to launch it
The other method is to type Feedback in the text box on the Windows 10 Taskbar. It will show the Windows Feedback Hub app among other results. Click on it to launch it.
What does the Windows Feedback Hub App do?
As said earlier, you can use the Windows Feedback Hub App to see what other users request as features and complaints by other users on particular problems and to add and send your feedback, suggestions, or complaints to the Windows team. Though you will not receive any answer in person, the Windows team might take notice of your suggestion or feedback if it is pretty good. Windows team will also be forced to look at the issue if it gets plenty of upvotes.
Anyway, here is how to use the Windows Feedback Hub App.
Browsing through others’ feedback, suggestions, and complaints
When you open the Feedback Hub App, you will be presented with feedback, suggestions, and complaints by other users. The sorting order, by default, would be based on the trending topics i.e., users browsing for similar topics.
If you are an Insider, on Insider Builds, you may see this app:
You can select categories in the left panel to view feedback and suggestions about that category. For example, if you wish to complain or suggest a feature for Edge, you might want to check if such a complaint or feature request is not already posted to the Windows team.
In that case, you have to click on Edge. The right panel will again show a list of suggestions, complaints or feature requests by other users. Browse through them or use the search box to see if a feature request or post similar to what you have in mind is already there. If it is not there, you can go ahead and submit your own suggestion, feedback or feature request.
Just click on the Add New Feedback button towards the bottom of the right panel in the Feedback App. You will get a page with a textbox to type whatever you want. You will then have to select the category and subcategory for the text you typed. This will help narrow down search results for other users and direct your feedback to the right person on the Windows 11/10 development team.
Upvoting on Similar Feedback
If what you want to say is already present in the Windows Feedback App, you need not create a new suggestion or feedback. You can simply click on the suggestion or feedback to open it and then click on Upvote. Remember that the issues with more upvotes will get more priority, so there is no use in creating a separate feedback post that might not receive many upvotes.
You can also quickly give feedback about Windows Start Search to Microsoft via Start.
The above explains how to use Windows 11/10 Feedback app. If you still have any questions, feel free to comment.
In Windows 10 and Windows 11, Microsoft wants our feedback on pretty much anything from the Windows features we don’t like to bugs and the apps that we want to be improved. Thus, Windows 11 and Windows 10 include a neat little app called Feedback Hub that anyone can use to give Microsoft feedback about anything related to their operating systems. In this article, we’ll explain more about what Microsoft’s Feedback Hub is and why you might need it, how to use it, and also how to uninstall Feedback Hub if you don’t want to talk to Microsoft. Read on:
What is the Microsoft Feedback Hub & Do you need it?
Feedback Hub is an app made by Microsoft, available by default in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Its sole purpose is to offer you an easy way to give feedback to Microsoft about Windows, its features, and its components.
However, many users might have the same suggestions or encounter the same problems. That’s why Feedback Hub also includes a browsing and voting system for users to be able to check whether their feedback is already on Microsoft’s table or if it’s something completely new.
Before you decide to give new feedback to Microsoft, you should always check whether it’s already been reported or suggested by others before you. To do that, you can browse through the topics listed inside Feedback Hub or search for your problem or suggestion.
Now that we know what the Feedback Hub is, let’s see how to open it, how to use it to send feedback to Microsoft, and how to uninstall Feedback Hub if you don’t need it:
How to open Feedback Hub in Windows 10 and Windows 11
To be able to send your feedback to Microsoft, you need first to open the Feedback Hub app. One way to do that is to click or tap on its shortcut from the Start Menu. It’s found under the letter F in both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

You can also search for feedback. In Windows 10, type feedback in the search box from the taskbar. Once the search results are displayed, click or tap on Feedback Hub.
Search for Feedback Hub in Windows 10
In Windows 11, click/tap the search button next to the Start Menu button on the taskbar. Then, type feedback and click or tap on the Feedback Hub search result.

Note that, regardless of the method you choose for launching the Feedback Hub app in Windows, you have to Sign in with your Microsoft account once you do it. Feedback Hub checks if you already have any Microsoft accounts set up on your computer. If you want to use one of them, click or tap on it. If you don’t, you can manually enter the details of another Microsoft account that you want to use with Feedback Hub.
Log in to Feedback Hub with a Microsoft account
Once you’ve signed in with a Microsoft account, the Feedback Hub app will say Welcome!. Read the welcoming note if you want, and then click or tap OK.
Welcome to Feedback Hub
How to navigate through the Feedback Hub
Once you’ve opened the Feedback Hub app and signed in with your Microsoft account, you can see a list of various topics on which you can provide feedback to Microsoft. Here’s a sample of what the Feedback Hub app looks like:
The Windows Feedback Hub
The Feedback Hub app is split into two main sections:
- On the left, there’s the Navigation panel. You can use it to browse through the Feedback collections, which list all the various Windows system features and topics on which you can give feedback. There is also a section for Microsoft Announcements and areas for Quests and Achievements, through which Microsoft attempts to increase user involvement in providing feedback. This is also the place where you can alter the Settings of the app, as well as log out of your user account.
- On the right side of the window, you get to see the content of the Feedback Hub section selected in the navigation panel.
How to explore and search for feedback in Windows’ Feedback Hub
The essential part (and purpose) of Feedback Hub is to offer answers and to allow you to give feedback to Microsoft. That’s done from the Feedback section.
The Feedback section of Feedback Hub
Once you’ve selected Feedback, the content panel on the right side of the window shows you two main tabs: All feedback and My feedback. The first one lets you browse the entire history of feedback collected by Microsoft from users all over the World. The latter one — My feedback — gives you the list of feedback you’ve provided or upvoted yourself.
All feedback and My feedback
While you could simply navigate and check feedback randomly, as it appears on the lists, you’ll probably want to narrow down the issues and suggestions made by other users. And for that, in both sections (All feedback and My feedback), you’ll find a “Search for feedback” field at the top, and a “+ Give new feedback” button.
Search or give feedback
When entering text in the “Give us feedback to make Windows better” field, Feedback Hub automatically updates the list of results from below the field. Then, you can scroll through the list to find feedback given by other users.
For instance, if you are interested in the latest problems users reported about notifications in Windows, you can search for notifications. Then, Feedback Hub will load the latest problems reported by users while working with Windows notifications.
Searching for feedback in the Feedback Hub
Furthermore, the feedback section also allows you to sort and filter the problems and suggestions made by users. There are different criteria available for that, right under the search field.
Filtering feedback search results
But what’s next? What can you do if you find feedback that matches yours, and what should you do if the issue or suggestion you have was not reported by anyone else before you? Read the next section to see how to upvote and how to give new feedback.
How to upvote feedback in Windows Feedback Hub
If others have already reported the suggestion or problem you have and you found the feedback in Feedback Hub, you can vote for it by clicking or tapping on the Upvote button. If enough users vote for the same feedback, it might get to the top of the list, and hopefully, Microsoft will make it a priority to find a solution or make your suggestion a reality.
In the screenshot below, you can see that Ciprian — senior editor at Digital Citizen — stumbled upon an issue with “Notifications coming in late or at the same time on Windows 11”. Other people have the same problem, so they also upvoted this feedback.
Upvoting for feedback
Furthermore, the Windows Feedback Hub also allows you to comment on feedback, which can then be seen by everyone looking into it.
Feedback comments shared via the Feedback Hub
Next, how do you send new feedback to Microsoft? Here’s what you need to do:
How to give feedback to Microsoft with Windows Feedback Hub
If you have new feedback for Microsoft, feedback that other users haven’t submitted, you should share it with Microsoft and their community of users. To do that, click or tap the “+ Give new feedback” button from the top of the Feedback section in the Feedback Hub app.
Give new feedback in Feedback Hub
Feedback Hub will then ask you to “Enter your feedback.” Write down the issues or suggestions you want to send to Microsoft. For instance, we’d like to be able to use the Windows Spotlight images as desktop wallpapers on our Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices. Here’s a sample of how you would send this feedback using Feedback Hub.
Enter your feedback details
Then, choose a category to list the feedback in, find similar feedback, if any, and include additional details (screenshots, files, recordings) if you want to. Take care not to enter personal details in your feedback because they are all public, and anyone can see them. When you’re done entering all the details of your feedback, click or tap the “Submit” button to send it to Microsoft.
Submit feedback to Microsoft
NOTE: If you want, before submitting new feedback to Microsoft, you can also save a feedback file. What is a Feedback Hub file? As Microsoft explains it, a Feedback Hub file is a local copy of diagnostics and attachments created when giving feedback.
Should you disable Feedback Hub? Can you uninstall Feedback Hub?
Last but not least, some people don’t feel the need or simply don’t want to tell Microsoft anything. If you’re one of them, you might want to know whether you can disable Feedback Hub and uninstall it from your Windows computer. The answer is yes: you can remove Feedback Hub from your PC, and nothing terrible will happen. And you’ll be able to reinstall it again anytime you want it back, using the Microsoft Store.
Feedback Hub is an app, so you can uninstall it like any other app. Read this tutorial for guidance: 9 ways to remove desktop programs and Microsoft Store apps in Windows if you don’t know how. Or, if you don’t have time, here’s one of the fastest ways to remove it:
Whether you use Windows 10 or Windows 11, locate Feedback Hub in the All apps from the Start Menu. Right-click (or press and hold) on its shortcut and select Uninstall from the context menu.
How to uninstall Feedback Hub
The Feedback Hub will be gone in the blink of an eye.
Are you sending feedback to Microsoft?
The fact that Microsoft provides all Windows 10 and Windows 11 users with the Feedback Hub app by default is an excellent approach. It’s a straightforward way of sending feedback to the developers of Windows about any problem or suggestion you might have about the operating system, its features, and default apps. And, if Microsoft truly listens to our feedback, it increases our chances of having a pleasant experience when using Windows. So, try the Feedback Hub app and share your feedback with Microsoft. Which are the main problems that you want to be fixed or the features you want to improve?
How many times have you complained that a company you’re dealing with doesn’t listen to customer feedback? It’s been a problem since the dawn of capitalism.
Sadly, tech companies are among the worst. Most don’t have physical stores you can visit. Many don’t even have customer support telephone numbers. (Have you ever tried getting in touch with someone from Facebook?)
Windows is certainly no stranger to complaints and feedback. Given more than 1.25 billion computers around the world run the operating system, there is always going to be a sizeable number of users with problems, issues, and criticisms.
Microsoft is trying to address the problem head on with its Feedback Hub app. Here’s an explanation of the app’s features and how to use them.
How to Get Feedback Hub
Until 2016, you could only download and use the Feedback Hub if you were in the Windows Insider Program. That’s no longer the case. It’s there for everyone to use.
The Windows 10 Creators Update should have automatically installed the app on your system as part of the upgrade process. You’ll find it in your Start Menu.
If it’s not there, or if you’ve deleted it and now want it back, you can grab a copy from the Windows Store.
Open the Store and type your search term in the top right-hand corner. Click on the app’s thumbnail, then hit the Download button. If you want to download it directly from the web, follow the link below.
Download — Feedback Hub
Adjust Your Privacy Settings
Before you can send any of your thoughts to Microsoft, you might need to adjust your privacy settings. If you’re security conscious and you’ve disabled lots of the system’s automatic telemetry, you’ll definitely fall into this bracket.
Asking you to change your privacy settings sounds like a strange request, but the reason why its required will become apparent shortly.
To fix the privacy permissions, open the Start Menu and go to Settings > Privacy > Feedback and diagnostics > Diagnostic and usage data. On the Creators Update, there are two choices: Basic and Full. Click the checkbox next to Full. If you’ve not upgraded to the Creators Update yet, you’ll see three choices. You can select either Full or Enhanced.
Warning: Turning on this setting will let Microsoft see a range of data about your machine, including which browser you’re using, which features you rely on, and which apps you have installed. If you’re uncomfortable with any of this, do not proceed further.
The Home Screen
The app is divided into two parts: Home and Feedback.
The Home screen is designed to introduce you to some of Microsoft’s other feedback and support services. It’s the page you see when you fire up the app for the first time.
On it, you’ll find a link that claims to help you learn more about the Feedback Hub, but in practice just sends you to Microsoft’s blog. You’ll also see a link to Microsoft’s support page, and there’s a prompt asking you to download «Windows Tips» (a store app).
The only genuinely interesting link is an invite to join the Insider Program. Click it, and the app will send you to the program’s sign-up page.
The Feedback Center
The Feedback Center is where you’ll find the bulk of the app. Anyone who has used Reddit will be instantly familiar with how it works.
On the left of each request is an upvote score. The ones with the most upvotes are the ones Microsoft will respond to most quickly. To help an issue become more popular, just tap the Upvote button.
You’ll also be able to see how many people have commented in the discussion and which part of the Microsoft ecosystem the feedback relates to.
Search and Sorting
By default, discussions are sorted by Trending. It means hottest issues of the day will be immediately visible for you to engage with.
Along the top of your screen, you’ll see the four filters. They are:
- Sort — You can choose Trending, Most recent, or Upvotes.
- Filter — The Feedback Hub allows users to submit both suggestions and problem. Use Filter to select which type you want to see.
- Device — Are you on PC or Mobile?
- Categories — There is an extensive list of categories to help you refine your search. Examples include Input and Interaction Methods, Cortana and Search, and Calling and Messaging. There are 20 categories in total.
New: Collections
Microsoft has made a new change for the Creators Update. Instead of listing lots of similar requests separately, it’s grouped them into Collections.
Think of Collections like conversation threads on your email client. They have made it easier for you to track multiple feedback discussions without becoming bogged down in endless pages of duplicated points.
Add Your Opinion
You can comment on any existing topics simply by opening the Collection and typing a comment in the space provider.
But you can do a lot more than that. This is where those privacy settings you changed earlier come into play. Microsoft can capture data automatically while you recreate the problem.
To activate the feature, open a feedback discussion, click Add feedback details, and tap Start capture. When you’re ready, hit Stop capture and the file will be listed under the Start capture button. Click Remove if you want to delete it and start again.
If capturing a video isn’t right for your situation, you can click Add a screenshot to attach images of your problem.
When you’re ready, click Submit and upvote.
Creating Your Own Feedback
If you’ve done a search and can’t find anyone else with your issue, you can make a new thread.
Tap Add new feedback in the top right-hand corner and fill in the on-screen options. You’ll need to tell Microsoft whether it’s a problem or a suggestion, give the thread a title, explain your issue, and assign a category. If you wish, you can also add a screenshot.
You can see the process of all the feedback you’ve submitted by clicking on the My feedback tab at the top of the screen.
How Microsoft Responds to Feedback
I know what you’re thinking: it all sounds great, but Microsoft probably doesn’t pay any attention! Actually, nothing could be further from the truth.
According to a blog entry, Microsoft has a team of engineers constantly monitoring the app. They help users to fix individual issues and pay attention to wider community consensuses about what’s working, what needs improving, and what’s missing.
You can see evidence of the process in action. Anytime one of the engineers responds to a problem or suggestion, the Collection receives a check-mark icon along with a message that reads «An official response has been posted.» Open the thread, and you will find the response pinned to the top of the window.
Will You Offer Feedback?
I hope you realize that the Feedback Hub is a great way of communicating directly with Microsoft and that the company appears to care about your points and problems.
If you’ve got a serious gripe, you’re much more likely to see it resolved if you submit it through the app than if you complain on Twitter, Reddit, or Facebook. While you’re waiting for a response, you can also try to fix Windows issues yourself.
Have you used the Feedback Hub? What did you think of it? Let us know your opinions in the comments below.
Feedback Hub is a Windows application that allows users to provide feedback, bug reports, and feature suggestions for the operating system.
