Disable Those Annoying Taskbar Pop-up Suggestions in Windows 10

Microsoft really wants you to use the Edge browser on your Windows 10 laptop. If you don’t, you’ll get pop-up ads on the taskbar. This is annoying. Here’s how to turn them off.

Every time I open Chrome, Windows tells me that the battery life will increase if I use Edge. Thank you but no. I don’t care, I want to use Chrome. Stop pestering me with Windows. If you feel the same, here is the solution:

  1. Press the Windows key or click the Windows menu in the lower left corner of the desktop.
  2. Go to Settings (gear icon)> System> Notifications & Actions.
  3. Turn off the “Get tips, tricks, and suggestions when using Windows” switch.
  4. Use whatever apps you want without judgment.

Of course, this is a minor inconvenience, but now it is much nicer, because I can safely use the browser of my choice.
