Windows 11 comes with various tips and suggestions that are designed to enhance user experience by offering guidance and recommendations on features, or by showing what’s new in the system. However, some users may find these notifications distracting or unnecessary. If you’re among those who prefer a cleaner and less intrusive experience on your PC, here are the top 5 ways to disable tips and suggestions on Windows 11:

1. Turn Off Notifications from System Settings:

Navigate to ‘Settings’ > ‘System’ > ‘Notifications & actions’. Scroll down to find ‘Get tips and suggestions when I use Windows’ and toggle the switch off. This will stop Windows from sending you tips and showing suggestions as you use your computer.

2. Disable Start Menu Suggestions:

Click on the Start menu, then go to ‘Settings’ > ‘Personalization’ > ‘Start’. Look for the option that says ‘Show suggestions occasionally in Start’ and switch it off. This will prevent suggested apps from appearing in your Start menu.

3. Adjust Privacy Settings:

Head to ‘Settings’ > ‘Privacy’ & security’, then select ‘General’. Here you will find options such as ‘Let apps show me personalized ads by using my advertising ID’ or ‘Let Microsoft offer suggestions on how I can set up my device.’ Disable these options to reduce the targeted tips and offers.

4. Use the Group Policy Editor (for Pro versions):

Open the Group Policy Editor by typing ‘gpedit.msc’ in the Run dialog box (Win + R). Navigate to ‘Computer Configuration’ > ‘Administrative Templates’ > ‘Windows Components’ > ‘Cloud Content’. Find the policy titled ‘Turn off Microsoft consumer experiences’ and set it to Enabled. This will stop various suggestions and spotlight features typically shown to consumers.

5. Via Registry Editor:

Press Win + R, type in ‘regedit’, and press Enter. Navigate to ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent’. If CloudContent doesn’t exist, right-click on Windows, select New > Key, and name it CloudContent. Within this key, right-click, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, name it DisableSoftLanding, and set its value to 1. This method is more advanced and should be handled carefully, as changes in the registry can affect system stability.

By implementing any of these five methods, you can enjoy a distraction-free computing experience on Windows 11 without frequent tips or suggestions interrupting your workflow.
