With default settings, Windows 10 occasionally displays app suggestions in the left-side of the Start menu. As you can see in the picture below, Windows 10 is suggesting me to install the TouchMail app.

As said before, app suggestions appear in the Start menu occasionally, and you will not see app suggestions each time you open the Start menu.
