The suggested content, tips, and links in the PC Settings app aren't helpful yet distracting? Here is a simple method to take them off completely.
In the PC Settings app, you can see embedded suggested content and tips about almost every page. Generally, these pointers and suggested content will contain links to official documentation, quick tips, and even videos demonstrating a feature. Automatically, these pointers and suggested content will appear towards the rightmost side of the page. When the window isn't wide enough, the same content will appear at the bottom from the main page.
These pointers in the Settings app mostly are meant to help you find the right path through different options and show the best way to rely on them in your favor. However, the majority of the video tips are very basic and most of the help links are nothing but Bing search queries. If you ask me, these aren't that helpful. What's more, these tips and suggested content blend in with other aspects of the Settings app like "Related Settings" and option links. This will make it quite confusing for brand new users.
So, if you feel these embedded tips are not to your benefit, it is simple to remove tips and suggested content from the Windows 10's settings app. It is quite simple to do. Let me show you how.
1] From Settings App
The PC Settings app itself has options to quickly remove suggested content and instructional videos from this. All you have to do is toggle a choice and you are done.
Open the Settings app by pressing the Win + I keyboard shortcut. Within the Settings app, go to "Privacy → General". On the right panel, toggle the switch under "Show me suggested content in the Settings page" towards the "OFF" position.
That's it. In the future, you will no use whatever suggested content within the Windows 10 Settings app. Keep in mind that this process won't take away the Bing search query links. For that, stick to the below methods.
2] From Group Policy Editor
If you wish to completely remove tips, Bing links, and suggested content, the audience Policy provides a simple policy setting.
1. First, open Group Policy Editor by searching for "Edit Group Policy" within the start menu. In the Group Policy Editor, visit the following folder.
Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → User interface
2. On the right panel, you will notice a bunch of folders and a couple of policies. Double-click around the "Allow Policy Tips" policy. This is the policy that's responsible for showing the guidelines and suggested content within the Settings app.
3. Select "Disabled" in the policy settings window and click on the "Apply" and "Ok" buttons to save changes.
Now, either reboot Windows or open Command Prompt as admin and execute gpupdate /force command to help make the policy apply to the system. When the policy is used successfully, providing begin to see the embedded tips or suggested content and videos.
3] From Registry Editor
As an alternative, you can also edit the registry to remove tips in the Settings app. If you are running Windows 10 Home Edition, this may be the only method you can use because the Group Policy Editor isn't available to you.
1. Search for "Registry Editor" within the start menu and open it. Copy the below path, paste it in the Registry Editor's address bar and press Enter to visit the folder.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
2. Around the right panel, see if you have a value named "AllowOnlineTips". If there is no such value, right-click around the empty space, select "New → Dword Value" and name it "AllowOnlineTips". Double-click on the value.
3. The above action will open the value configuration window. In the Value Data field, type "0" and click on the "Ok" button.
4. Close the Registry Editor and reboot Windows 10 to apply the changes you simply made.
That's it. To revert back, change the Value Data in step 3 to "1" and you're simply done. If needed, you are able to delete the worth too.
Hope that can help. If you're stuck or take some help, comment below and that i will attempt to help as much as possible.
