4 Ways to Get Rid of Windows 11's Tips and Suggestions Notifications

If your Windows 11 PC is hindering your workflow by regularly sending different tips and notifications, here are four ways to disable it.

1. Using System Settings

To disable the Tips and Suggestions notifications, access the Settings app by clicking on the "Start" button and selecting the "Settings" icon. Alternatively, you can press the Windows+i key combination to directly open the Settings app.

Choose "System" from the left sidebar and select "Notifications" in the right pane.

Then, scroll down and expand the "Additional settings" section.

Here, uncheck the box beside "Get tips and suggestions when using Windows."

Tips and Suggestions on your Windows PC will be disabled. To enable this feature again, please follow the same steps and select the checkbox beside the Get tips and suggestions when using Windows box.

2. Using the Group Policy Editor

If disabling Tips and Suggestions through the Settings app didn't work, you can attempt to make adjustments in the Group Policy Editor. Follow these steps:

To begin, press the Windows+R key combination to open the Run tool box. Next, type "gpedit.msc" and press "Enter."

In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following path:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Cloud Content​

In the right pane, double-click on the "Do not show Windows tips" policy.

Choose "Enabled" from the Do Not Show Windows Tips properties window that pops up. Lastly, click on "Apply" and then "OK" to save the changes.

Do note that you'll need to restart your device for the changes to finally kick in. To revert the changes, follow the same steps and select Disabled.

3. Using the Registry Editor

To permanently disable the Tips and Suggestions feature, you can modify the Windows Registry Editor. This method requires a bit more technical knowledge, so it's important to create a restore point before making any changes to the registries. This precaution is necessary as even a small error in the registry can lead to device crashes. Creating a restore point allows you to revert back to the original Windows settings in case anything goes awry.

To proceed, press Windows+R to open Run tool box, type "regedit" and hit "Enter."

Click "Yes" to the User Account Control that appears.

Now, in the Registry Editor, navigate to the following path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent

If the CloudContent key is not found, you need to generate a new one. To do this, follow these steps: right-click on the "Windows" folder, choose New, and then select Key. Rename the newly created key as "CloudContent."

Afterward, select the "CloudContent" folder, right-click on an empty area in the right pane, and choose New. From the options, select DWORD (32-bit) Value.

Name the newly created DWORD value as "DisableSoftLanding" and hit "Enter" to confirm.

Double-click the "DisableSoftLanding" value, type "1" under Value data, and click on "OK."

Close the Registry Editor and restart your device for the changes to take place.

Once your device reboots, Tips and Suggestions Notifications will be disabled on your Windows 11 device. To re-enable it, set the Value data to 0.

4. Using a REG File

If you find editing the Registry Editor to be too technical, you can disable the Tips and Suggestions notifications by creating a Windows REG file. A REG file, also referred to as a Windows Registry File, is a text-based file that is created by exporting values from the Registry. This file can also be utilized to add or modify values in the Registry.

To accomplish this, launch a new Notepad document and paste the provided code into the file:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent]"DisableSoftLanding"=dword:00000001

Press Ctrl+Shift+S and save the file with a ".reg" extension.

Right-click on the reg file, select "Open" and click "Yes" to the UAC prompt that pops up.

Running the file will disable Tips and Suggestions Notifications on Windows devices. However, you may need to restart your device in some cases.
