1 min read
Summary
Windows 11 has several features that are source of annoyance for users, such as:
Too many notifications from apps that can be disabled or muted via the settings
Pop-ups and tips can be stopped from appearing by deselecting the boxes in the settings tab
The default apps settings has been made longer in Windows 11, requiring users to set each file type individually
Too many startup apps can be disabled in the settings tab to increase speed
The start menu and taskbar can be decluttered, and lock screen ads can be stopped by changing the settings retroactively
The widgets panel is bothersome as it keeps popping out and shows headlines etc. that the user didn’t ask for. It can be disabled by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting Taskbar Settings, and turning the widgets toggle off.
Web results and highlights also appear in Windows 11’s search bar, which can be disabled by modifying the Windows registry file or using the Winaero Tweaker third-party app.
