Stop Windows asking for feedback — via Microsoft Learn

Group Policylow riskNeeds adminProEnterpriseEducationWindows 11Windows 10

Prevents the Feedback Hub from popping up notifications that ask you to rate or comment on Windows. Useful on family or work PCs where those prompts just confuse people.

Restart the computer

Group Policy

Open gpedit.msc (Pro, Enterprise and Education only) and go to:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Data Collection and Preview Builds > Do not show feedback notifications

Registry equivalent

Double-click a .reg file and confirm to merge it. Right-click → Edit first if you want to read it, which is always a good idea with any .reg file from the internet.
