How to Disable Feedback Notifications on Windows 11 & 10

Unlike the older versions, on Windows 11 and Windows 10, Microsoft takes feedback directly from the users regarding the operating system and many of its features and apps. As a result, you might see occasional feedback notifications, such as “How frequently does using Windows make you feel happy?” or “How likely are you to recommend Windows to others?”

Though not too intrusive, these feedback prompts can still be a major distraction. Fortunately, if you find these feedback notifications distracting, you can disable them altogether. In this quick and easy tutorial, I’ll show you two ways to turn off feedback notifications on Windows 11 and Windows 10. Let’s get started.

Turn OFF Feedback Notifications on Windows 11

1. Open the Settings app by pressing “Windows key + I“.
2. Go to the “Privacy & security” tab.
3. Click the “Diagnostic & feedback” option.
4. Scroll down to the “Feedback” section.
5. Select “Never” from the “Feedback frequency” dropdown.
6. With that, feedback notifications on Windows 11 are turned off.

Turn OFF Feedback Notifications on Windows 10

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Click the “Privacy” option.
3. Go to the “Diagnostics & feedback” tab.
4. Select “Never” from the dropdown menu under “Feedback frequency“.
5. Close the Settings app.
6. You will no longer see the feedback notifications.

Detailed Steps (With Screenshots)

First, open the Windows 10 Settings app. To do that, click the “Settings” icon in the Start menu or press the “Windows key + I” shortcut. After opening the Settings app, click the “Privacy” option.

On the “Privacy” page, go to the “Diagnostics & feedback” tab on the left sidebar. On the right panel, scroll down to the “Feedback frequency” section. Now, select “Never” from the dropdown menu under it.

As soon as you do that, the change is saved automatically and feedback notifications are disabled. From now on, Windows 10 will no longer show feedback notifications. If you want to turn them on again, select the “Automatic” option from the dropdown menu.

Disable Feedback Notification Using Group Policy (Windows 10 & 11)

Note: Administrator rights are required to turn OFF feedback notifications using Group Policy. Additionally, Group Policy is only available to Pro and Enterprise users.

If you are managing multiple users and want to enforce the feedback notifications restriction, you can use the group policy editor. Here’s how.

1. Press the “Windows key + R” shortcut.
2. Enter “gpedit.msc” and press “Enter“.
3. Go to the “Computer Configuration” > “Administrative Templates” folder.
4. Open the “Windows Components” > “Data Collection and Preview Builds” folder.
5. Double-click the “Do not show feedback notifications” policy.
6. Select the “Enabled” option.
7. Click the “Apply” and “OK” buttons.
8. Close the Group Policy Editor.
9. Restart Windows 10.
10. With that, feedback notifications are disabled on Windows 10.

Detailed Steps (With Screenshots)

First, you must open the Group Policy Editor. To do that, open the Run dialog by pressing the “Windows key + R” shortcut, enter “gpedit.msc“, and click “OK“.

In the Group Policy window, go to the “Computer Configuration” > “Administrative Templates” > “Windows Components” > “Data Collection and Preview Builds” folder.

Find and double-click the “Do not show feedback notifications” policy on the right panel. This policy controls the state of the feedback notifications.

Since we want to stop feedback notifications completely, select the “Enabled” option and click “OK“.

Finally, close the Group Policy window and restart your computer. After restarting, feedback notifications are turned off and you will no longer see them.

Wrapping Up — Disabling Feedback Notifications on Windows 11 & 10

In summary, you have two ways to turn off feedback notifications. You can either use the Settings app or the Group Policy Editor. For most users, the Settings method is all you need. However, when managing multiple users or wanting to enforce the restrictions and disallow users from changing the setting, follow the group policy method. Whichever method you follow, the result is the same. i.e., the feedback notifications are disabled. Also, in addition to turning off the feedback notifications, you can uninstall the feedback hub app on Windows 11 & 10.
