Windows devices offer a feedback notification feature that allows you to provide feedback to Microsoft about the operating system. Although this is a useful feature for reporting problems with your computer, you might find it annoying and prefer not to have it.

If you're not interested in Microsoft's feedback program, you can easily opt not to receive notifications. This guide explains different ways to disable feedback notifications in Windows 10 and 11.

How to Disable Feedback Notifications Using the Group Policy Editor

The Feedback notification is a great way to stay on top of user feedback but can also be a bit overwhelming. If you're looking to disable feedback notifications, you can do so using the local editor group policy. This is a relatively simple process and only takes a few minutes to complete.

Before you begin, you should keep in mind that the tool only works with Windows 11 Professional and Enterprise editions. Therefore, you won't have access to the Local Group Policy editor if you're using Windows Home edition. To proceed in such a case, you need to activate the Group Policy Editor in Windows Home first. If it seems too complicated, you can skip the process and move on to the next one.

To disable feedback notifications using Local Group Policy Editor, go through the below steps:

  1. Press the Win + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run command dialog box.
  2. Type "gpedit.msc" in the search box and press the Enter key to launch Local Group Policy Editor.
  3. When you are in the Group Policy Editor window, navigate to the following path:
            Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Data Collection and Preview Builds
        
  4. Select the Data Collection and Preview Builds folder from the left pane, then double-click the Do not show feedback notifications option.

  5. Select the Enabled radio button in the dialog box that appears.
    Do Not Show Feedback Notification
  6. After you've made your changes, click Apply and OK to save them.

Once you have completed the steps above, restart your computer to ensure that the changes have taken effect. Upon disabling this feature, you will no longer receive feedback notifications on your Windows 11.

How to Disable Feedback Notifications via the Registry Editor

Another method of disabling the feedback notification in Windows 11 involves tweaking the Windows Registry. The process is relatively simple, but you should carefully follow the instructions. It is important to note that you may cause serious damage to your computer if you are unfamiliar with editing the registry. If you don't know much about these things, it would be best to leave this step to a professional.

If you opt for this method, you should back up your registry in case things go wrong. Follow these steps to disable feedback notifications:

  1. Right-click on the Start menu and select Run from the power user menu. This will open the Run command dialog box.
  2. Type "regedit" in the search field of the Run command dialog box and click OK.
  3. When a UAC dialog box appears, select Yes to confirm your action.
  4. In the Registry Editor window, go to the following location:
            Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection
        
  5. If there isn't a DataCollection key, you'll have to create it. For this, right-click on Windows and select New > Key.
  6. After that, type "DataCollection" in the filename field and hit Enter to save it.
  7. Now go to the right side pane and right-click in the empty area.
  8. Then choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value from the context menu.
  9. Once you have created the DWORD key, name it DoNotShowFeedbackNotifications and press Enter to save it.

  10. Double-click on the DWORD key you just created, and a pop-up window will appear.
  11. Assign 1 to the value data and choose Hexadecimal as the base.
  12. After you make these changes, click OK to save them.

Upon finishing the above steps, exit the Registry Editor and restart the computer. Next time you start up your PC, you won't see the feedback notification.

How to Disable Feedback Using the Windows Settings

If you're tired of constantly being bombarded with feedback notifications, you can set the feedback frequency to never in Windows settings. You may also find this solution helpful if you are unfamiliar with editing the registry and are using Windows Home edition.

Here are the steps you need to take in order to disable feedback frequency:

  1. Open the Windows System Settings. To access the Settings menu, right-click Start, select Settings, or press Windows + I to get to it directly.
  2. On the left side of the Settings app, click the Privacy & security tab.
  3. Navigate to the Windows permissions section on the right, and then click Diagnostics & feedback.
  4. On the next page, go to the Feedback section.

  5. Finally, click the drop-down menu next to Feedback frequency and choose Never.

That's all it takes! Now you will no longer receive feedback notifications from Windows.

How to Disable Feedback Using the Windows PowerShell Tool

If you prefer using the Character User Interface to perform tasks, you can disable the feedback hub using Windows PowerShell in Windows 11.

To disable the feedback hub feature, use the following steps.

  1. Click on the Start menu and type "PowerShell".
  2. Select Run as Administrator from the right pane.
  3. When UAC appears on the screen, click Yes to continue.
  4. Once you're in the PowerShell window, copy and paste the below command:
            reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Siuf\Rules" /v "NumberOfSIUFInPeriod" /t "REG_DWORD" /d "0" /f
    reg delete "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Siuf\Rules" /v "PeriodInNanoSeconds" /f
  5. Each time you type a command, press Enter.

After executing the command, restart your computer. Now you won't receive feedback notifications on Windows 11.

The Feedback Notification Feature Is Now Disabled

Despite being an excellent tool to assist Microsoft in identifying and resolving problems, it may not be suitable for everyone. Maybe you don't want to be bombarded with feedback notifications due to their annoying nature. Whatever your reason may be, you can disable feedback notifications in Windows 11 using Registry Editor, Group Policy, and Windows Settings. Choose whichever method fits you best and turn off Windows' feedback notifications.
