The app is useful to new Windows users since it helps to familiarize them with the Windows environment so that they can get the most out of Windows 10. Moreover, the \u201cTips\u201d app comes with embedded video tutorials that highlight how to use certain features for the pages you view. Luckily, the videos don&#8217;t autoplay and will only play when you click on them.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, you might find these tips annoying, and unless you&#8217;re a complete beginner, the \u201cTips\u201d app serves no purpose. In this article, we\u2019ll show you a step-by-step guide on how to remove Windows 10\u2019s Settings app \u201cTips\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>How to remove &#8220;Tips&#8221; from the Settings app in Windows 10<\/h2>\n<p>There are various approaches that you can employ to remove the \u201cTips\u201d app:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Using the Settings app<\/li>\n<li>Via the Start menu<\/li>\n<li>Using a PowerShell command<\/li>\n<li>Using the Windows Registry<\/li>\n<li>Using the Group Policy Editor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Using the Settings app<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Open \u201cSettings\u201d via the Win+I shortcut.<\/li>\n<li>Go to Apps &gt; Apps &amp; features.<\/li>\n<li>Look for the \u201cTips\u201d app on the list of apps installed on your computer and highlight it.<\/li>\n<li>Select the \u201cUninstall\u201d button and then click \u201cUninstall\u201d again to remove it from your PC.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Via the Start menu<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Click \u201cStart\u201d or press the \u201cWindows Key\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Type \u201cTips\u201d (without quotes).<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re using the latest Windows version, once the \u201cTips\u201d app appears, click on \u201cUninstall\u201d on the right side of the window. On other versions, right-click \u201cTips\u201d and select \u201cUninstall\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Using a PowerShell command<\/h2>\n<p>While PowerShell is a command-line shell designed for developers, system administrators, and IT professionals, you can use it to remove the \u201cTips\u201d app with ease.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the steps to follow:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The quickest way to open PowerShell is to click \u201cStart\u201d and type \u201cPowerShell\u201d (without quotes).<\/li>\n<li>Select \u201cRun as administrator\u201d on the right pane. Alternatively, right-click \u201cPowerShell\u201d from the list of results, and select \u201cRun as administrator\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Execute the command:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Getstarted | Remove-AppxPackage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Remove App package command will successfully uninstall the \u201cTips\u201d app from your computer.<\/p>\n<h2>Using the Windows Registry<\/h2>\n<p>Another option to remove the \u201cTips\u201d app involves manually editing the Registry. As usual, we like advising our community to always be careful when editing the registry as one tiny mistake can lead to devastating consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Simply follow the steps below keenly, and you\u2019ll be done before you even know it:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Click the \u201cSearch\u201d box in the taskbar or press the Win+S shortcut and type \u201cRegedit.exe\u201d (without quotes).<\/li>\n<li>Press \u201cEnter\u201d to open the \u201cRegistry Editor\u201d window.<\/li>\n<li>Now, navigate to this path:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\Explorer (to quickly navigate to the target key, copy this path and paste it in the address bar and press \u201cEnter\u201d).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Right-click on an empty spot on the right pane and select New &gt; DWORD (32-bit) Value.<\/li>\n<li>Name the new value \u201cAllowOnlineTips\u201d (without the quotes).<\/li>\n<li>Next, double-click \u201cAllowOnlineTips\u201d and set \u201cValue data:\u201d to \u201c0\u201d (zero).<\/li>\n<li>Restart your PC. This operation disables the text and video tips within the \u201cSettings\u201d app.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To re-enable the tips, simply change \u201cValue data:\u201d from zero to one.<\/p>\n<h2>Using the Group Policy Editor<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Click \u201cStart\u201d and search for gpedit.msc. Alternatively, press Win + R and type gpedit.msc in the \u201cRun\u201d box and press \u201cEnter\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Once in the \u201cLocal Group Policy Editor\u201d window, follow the path Computer Configuration &gt; Administrative Templates &gt; Control Panel.<\/li>\n<li>On the right pane, find the \u201cAllow Online Tips\u201d policy and double-click it.<\/li>\n<li>Select \u201cDisabled\u201d, and then click \u201cApply\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, click \u201cOK\u201d and restart your computer for the changes to take effect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Tweak your PC to boost its performance<\/h2>\n<p>Even computers with the fastest and most powerful processors can be slowed down by clutter and fragmentation. You see, using a computer daily leaves useless files lying around, occupying space that could otherwise be used for more important things. On the same note, the registry keeps every task that is performed on the computer until it&#8217;s cleared out. The registry can only take so much, and when it starts to clog, you\u2019ll notice that it takes the mouse seconds or even minutes to respond.<\/p>\n<p>If this situation is left unchecked, you may have a difficult time using your computer. While you can manually optimize your PC, it&#8217;s way too much work, plus you won&#8217;t be able to address all the issues.
