Stop Gmail from labeling incoming mail

I am using Windows 10 & check my email through the Vivaldi browser.
When I get emails, they always have some sort of Label: Social, Updates, Forums or Promotions.
I'd like to stop having my emails labeled.

I've gone through these steps:

• Logged into my Gmail account through my browser
• Clicked the gear icon in the upper right & chose "See All Settings"
• Clicked on the 'Inbox' tab
• In the 'Importance Markers' section,
  I selected 'No markers' & 'Use my past actions to predict which messages are important to me'
• In the 'Filtered Mail' section,
  I selected 'Don't override filters'
• I then clicked 'Save Changes'

But emails still arrive w/a label attached to them. Am I missing/doing something wrong?

This is about the Microsoft Windows 10 Mail and Calendar app feature called Focused Inbox for Gmail, which is not handled by Google.

 

Windows 10 Mail App deleting emails in my Gmail Inbox

Thanks for the response and the appreciated advice. I use the Win 10 Mail app because it's an IMAP service making my emails accessible over different platforms: computer, phone, tablet etc.

I have since found out that if you delete an email in the Win 10 Mail app, it gets deleted in your Gmail inbox as well. I must have lost quite a few very important emails the past two or three years, not fully grasping what "syncting" exactly implied.

The question now is whether the emails shown in the Win 10 Mail inbox disappear from view -- WITHOUT having been deleted at Gmail -- after a certain number limit or time limit has been reached. For instance when 100 emails have been shown in the Mail inbox or after a month has passed since an email arrived at Gmail. If this is the case, then a Win 10 Mail setting might help to limit the number of mails shown in the Mail inbox and thus the inclination to start deleting.

I notice that settings for a certain email account, e.g. a Gmail account, can be made HERE:

Open Windows Mail > Accounts > Right Click on an account, e.g. your GMail account > Account Settings > Click on "Options for Syncting your contents" > Scroll to "Download email from" > Select from "the last 3 months", "the last two weeks", "the last month" etc.

Would choosing for instance "the last month" rather than "the last 3 months", reduce the number of emails shown in my Mail inbox, with emails that arrived two months ago removed from view but safely left behind in my Gmail inbox?
