DisableHelpSticker DWORD

1 = Disable Tips for all users
0 = Enable Tips for all users to be able to turn on/off

 

That doesn't seem to work. From what I can tell, the registry key you mentioned corresponds to "Disable help tips," not "Do not show Windows Tips."

 

Where's that policy located in Group Policy?

I can then find it in the registry. *Smile

 

It's in CC\Windows Components\Cloud Content.

 

Ok. Here's for that one. *Redface

Nice work Brink, thanks.

Just got a notification in my W10 laptop from Tips that I have a new notification in Tips. The new notification is that I have a new notification in Tips. I cannot tell Tips not to give me new notifications where the content of the new notification is simply that there is a new notification. I am very sad that logic is failing in such an exaggerated way and that someone actually greenlit this function in W10. This came after an unwanted forced update that I had to wait for it to finish even though I wanted to do some actual work in a hurry...

Now I have a keyboard imprinted on my forehead. *Sad

 

Hello Eschelar, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

Yeah, it will be nice when W10 gets polished up some more.
