Windows 10: Disable Settings Features in Notification Panel

If you're not going to use 'Tablet Mode', (especially on a Desktop PC), or any other features from the bottom of the Notifications Panel, you can hide them by navigating in the Windows Registry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell and in the right pane double click 'UseActionCenterExperience' and change the value to 0; close the Registry Editor and restart Explorer.
(All settings can still be accessed in 'Settings')

Disable Touchpad Notifications

Control Panel > System > Notifications & Actions > Show notifications from these apps > Synaptic TouchPad > set it to OFF

Thanks, been driving me bonkers and the Control Panel > System > Notifications & Actions > Show notifications from these apps > Synaptic TouchPad > set it to OFF did the trick. Should have figured that out..

 

Windows 10 - Printer Notifications

On windows 7 Go to....

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Notification Area Icons

Under "Behavior" you will find "Drop Down Menus", most will be saying "Only Show Notifications"

Click on the arrow for the menu for "ScanToPCActivationApp" and select "Hide Icon And Notifications"

This will get rid of the annoying popup without permanently disabling scan to computer.

HP software will disable the printer for you at increasingly frequent intervals.

"Its a feature, not a bug"

Windows 10 is similar but "Hidden" for your "Safety".

Good hunting.
