Echoing Marcelo Sauaf below. That is exactly what we are needing. We build a great Home site and then people click the "Waffle" SharePoint link, and get sent to "/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx" instead. What's the point of creating a Home/Hub site, if nobody gets sent there?

Has this been fixed yet???? It creates SO MUCH confusion and frustration for our users!

although is something QUITE easy for MS to implement, it's also easily solved by admins, replacing /_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx whole page content with a simple redirect to the default root site (https://{tenant}.sharepoint.com) ...

Please resolve this issue as it is affecting our users and generating false security concerns.

Exactly.. We would like to have option to REMOVE the link, EDIT the link, have a checkbox for 'Allow/Disallow User Mgmt of Links Page', and be able to manage a uniform Corporate set of links for everyone as a dashboard.

Totally! For me, an off switch would be perfect! As I would like to make the users see/access only what I want them to see/access.

Same experience with DuncanVXD
As DuncanVXD says,
=> Being able to edit this page would allow navigation clarity, I have replaced a root site and can't get rid of the old tile so it confuses users when trying to find the new site. -

Faced that issue today with one of our customers. The "Teams-SharePoint" was renamed and the change is already shown in the "Groups" - but on the "SharePoint Home Page" the "frequent SharePoint SIte name" was not updated. The user did the change 1 week ago.. it leads to many confusions. Please make it possible to update/delete frequent sites.

Please add the ability to customize this page or designate a site as the default.

Actually, it would be ideal to miss out the SharePoint landing page altogether for our purposes, it adds nothing but another click and confusion, an off switch would be perfect!

What good is a home page if it is useless? Sharepoint is bad enough without being purposefully oblivious as to what a home page constitutes.

We migrated to an updated (modern) SharePoint site. But in the "Frequent Sites" used list the old site tiles still appear. And therefore also in Word, Excel.. Having an option to manual clear this list would be helpfull!

There are work-arounds to create shortcuts to your own intranet homepage but there are many users that still get stumped by this. Please fix :)

With the ever improving MS Teams the new home for user teams, surely the "sites" feature of SharePoint is null and void and should be repurposed to it's original purpose of being a shared resources repository for users?!

SharePoint is just getting clunkier and clunkier and difficult to navigate. Very frustrating. The NEW experience is just way over the top and not useful as a file and folder program.

EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT NEEDED: Organization of tiles on "Site Home"
Ability to at least alphabetize the list of sites (that look like tiles) would cut down on the time spent trying to find sites if you have many! Also, the tiles under "Following" move around so you can't even have a muscle memory to an approx. location.
PLEASE fix this or return to the old way which was just an alphabetical list. SUCH a waste of time hunting around. Using search feature is just cumbersome and another time waster, especially if you guess/spell the name wrong.
Thank you kindly.

Was there an update that broke Frequent Sites? I had an actual useable front page once and now I have to keep hunting for the sites I work in while two-year-old project sites get prioritised. Is there a way to roll back this "feature"?

The SharePoint Start (Welcome) Page has never been brilliant, but over the last couple of months it is only showing sites that are rarely visited in the "Frequent" section and all the "Followed" sites are missed off completely, with some coming up as "Suggested sites". It doesn't matter how many times you visit a site, or whether you "follow" it, it refuses to show up in either "Followed" or "Frequent.....how on earth can we fix this?
