Turning off Tips and Suggestions notifications in Windows 11

As efficient as it might be to get tips and suggestions from your Windows 11 system for improved usage, these notifications can sometimes be obstructive and unnecessary. Thus, you might decide to disable the feature. Several reliable methods to stop these alerts are tailored to meet your comfort with system settings adjustments.

Via System Settings

This option is the most straightforward and recommended for those who are not quite familiar with technical procedures. You will use the Windows 11 built-in Settings application to disable this feature. Follow these steps to get it done:

• Press the Windows key.
• Select Settings.
• On the left-hand side, choose System.
• Select Notifications from a set of sub-options.
• Scroll down to find the Additional Settings section.
• Click it to reveal more options.
• In the expanded category, look for the option labeled "Get tips and suggestions when using Windows."
• Click the checkbox next to it to remove the tick.

This action will deactivate the tips and suggestions feature on your Windows 11.

Via Registry Editor

This method suggests an adjustment within the system's registry files and is more suitable for technically inclined users. Follow these steps:

• Press the Windows + R, and the Run box will open.
• Inside the text entry box, type regedit and press Enter or click OK.
• Navigate to the specified path where the relevant registry value is located.
• Create a new Value within this path named "DisableSoftLanding."
• Right-click on the newly created value and set the Value data to 1.
• Click OK to save changes.

Via Local Group Policy Editor

Alternatively, you can use the Local Group Policy Editor to disable the Windows tips feature. This method is also suited for advanced users. Here's how:

• Press Windows + R.
• Type gpedit.msc and press OK or hit Enter. This action launches the Local Group Policy Editor.
• Inside the editor, navigate to the specified path that houses the policy we wish to edit.
• Locate and double-click on the "Do not show Windows tips" policy. This will open a new window containing policy settings.
• Select Enabled within this window to activate the policy that stops Windows from showing tips.
• To complete the process, click Apply, then OK.

Choose the procedure that best fits your technical comfort level. Remember, changes in the Registry Editor or Local Group Policy Editor can significantly impact your system and, hence, should be handled with care.

Disable the "Get fun facts, tips, tricks, and more on your lock screen" feature in Windows 11

While Windows 11 has an array of notifications designed to enhance the user's experience, not all of these are always welcomed. One of these unappreciated features may be the "Get fun facts, tips, tricks, and more on your lock screen" function, which can occasionally serve irrelevant information or even unsolicited ads and news based on your location.

Thankfully, Windows 11 allows you to modify your setting preferences, giving you the authority to enable or disable features at will. If you're seeking to do away with the lock mentioned above screen suggestions, here's how:

Open Settings > Personalization > Lock screen

The procedure to turn off fun facts, tips, and more from showing on your lock screen is quite straightforward:

• Press Windows + I simultaneously
• Select Personalization from among these categories.
• In the next interface, scroll down to find and click on the Lock screen option, leading you to a new window.

Uncheck the "Get fun facts, tips, tricks and more on your lock screen"

Once you're in the Lock screen settings interface, you have to locate the "Get fun facts, tips, tricks and more on your lock screen" option. Here's how to do it:

• Navigate to the section labeled "Personalize your lock screen."
• Find a checkbox next to "Get fun facts, tips, tricks, and more on your lock screen."
• Click the check box to remove the checking mark.

And this is how you can disable the lock screen suggestions in your Windows 11 system. Remember that you can always reverse this action should you wish to re-activate the feature in the future. You only need to go through these steps again and check the box next to "Get fun facts, tips, tricks, and more on your lock screen."

Turn off suggested actions in Windows 11

While the "suggested actions" feature on Windows 11 can sometimes be helpful, keeping you on your toes as you use your system, there may come a time when you would rather not have these suggestions appear. It could be that they're causing distractions, or you may want to explore the system all by yourself with no assistance. Thankfully, Windows 11 provides an easy way to toggle this feature ON and OFF, based on your preference.

Open System Settings > System > Clipboard

As with most Windows settings adjustments, you begin the process of turning off suggested actions within the System Settings:

• Press the Windows key.
• From the Start Menu, select Settings.
• You can also press Windows + I to open the Settings application.
• Click on the System category on the left to open system settings.
• In the System settings window, scroll down to the Clipboard option.
• Click it to open the Clipboard settings.

Turn off the Suggested Actions toggle switch

Within the Clipboard settings, you can put an end to your system's suggested actions by following these steps:

• Look for the "Suggested actions" option with a toggle switch beside it.
• Turn off the Suggested Actions feature by clicking the toggle switch.

After following these steps, you should cease to receive suggested actions on your Windows 11. To turn the feature back on, revisit the same settings and toggle the switch back to ON.

Disable Lock Screen Ads and Tips in Windows 11

When it comes to personalizing your Windows 11 experience, the operating system provides a vast array of options for customization. An area where users often seek control is the lock screen. While the lock screen on Windows 11 can display convenient features such as time, notifications, and quick status, it can also show tips, suggestions, and even advertisements. If you find these extras intrusive or unnecessary, you'll be glad to know that you can disable them.

Disable Lock Screen Tips & Ads

To navigate through the lock screen features and personalization options, you must first access your Windows 11 settings:

• Press Windows + I.
• Click Personalization on the left pane.
• Scroll down to the Lock screen option and click it.

Upon accessing the lock screen settings, you will be able to disable the tips and ads:

• Locate the section labeled "Personalize your lock screen."
• Untick the box next to "Get fun facts, tips, tricks, and more on your lock screen."

It's essential to understand that this action only turns off tips, tricks, and other suggestions on the Lock screen. Still, it won't affect notifications like alarms or reminders, which will remain visible on your lock screen.

If you ever want the tips and ads feature back on your lock screen, simply revisit these steps and check the box again.
