You can get rid of these by going to Settings > System > Notifications & Actions and unchecking Get Tips, Tricks, and Suggestions As You Use Windows. Occasionally, you may even see pop-ups appear in your taskbar, trying to convince you to switch to Edge or get involved with the Microsoft Rewards (Opens in a new window) program. You're better off doing it yourself, so you know what to go back and tweak later if something goes wonky. By using these one-size-fits-all tools-many of which dig into the Registry-you can make it difficult to troubleshoot why other settings don't act the way you want. Windows 10 "privacy" tools may seem quick and convenient, but many of its options can depend on other settings. Note that, while there are plenty of third-party tools that claim to do all of the below (and more) in one click, I generally don't recommend using them. Microsoft has a history of bringing ads to new places and restoring "suggested" apps that have already been removed with Windows updates. The steps below may not remove everything, but should tone things down to some extent.
Thankfully, most of these ads have simple toggles to turn them off within the settings menu. It’s surprising, then, that the company continues to double down on its most annoying feature by keeping advertisements inside Windows 10.
From privacy concerns to buggy updates, Microsoft’s operating system has seen its fair share of controversy. We think highly of Windows 10, but things haven’t always gone smoothly.
