    This popped up out of nowhere


    Hello all, my first time posting a question here. Today, I was installing the Launcher from Epic Games, and noticed they take up quite a lot of space 300-500mb for an installer. I do not remember Steam taking up that much space, but I may be wrong. However, what was weird is that when I was navigating in file explorer, this is the first time I see this pop up here I attached the image below. I have been using my computer for awhile and have never seen it there. I am not sure if it's something I should be worried about because it happened right after I installed Epic Games Launcher. And was also suspicious more surprised actually that the installer itself takes up so much space. Is this supposed to be here, or is it something I have to be worried about.

    annoying desktop pop ups

    Hi Sheena,

    Pop ups can be distracting for some, and depending on your reference, you can disable the desktop pop ups by following these steps:

    • Click Start or the Windows logo and go to Settings (gear icon).
    • Go to System and choose Notification & actions.
    • Under Notifications, turn off Get tips, tricks, and suggestions as you use Windows or whatever you want to turn off.
    • Close the window and it will automatically save the changes.

    If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
