If so, you\u2019re not alone. The new operating system has seen the fastest adoption rate of any OS in Microsoft\u2019s entire history, with a user base well over a hundred million users, and growing.<\/p>\n<p>It may seem strange to see an article praising a Microsoft OS, but the company has really done a good job of listening to and incorporating user suggestions into their updates for the software. The prevailing opinion about the new OS has been overwhelmingly positive.<\/p>\n<p>There are, however, a few complaints here and there. By now, you\u2019ve probably noticed the occasional popup you get regarding apps you don\u2019t currently have on your system. Microsoft calls these \u201csuggestions\u201d but the reality is, they\u2019re ads. If you click that popup when it appears, you\u2019ll be taken to the app store, where you can download and install the \u201csuggested\u201d app.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there\u2019s a quick and easy way to turn that feature off, so you won\u2019t be bothered by ads cluttering up your desktop real estate in the future. To disable that \u201cfeature,\u201d simply click your start button to bring up the Windows menu. From there, click on Settings, Personalization, and Start.<\/p>\n<p>This will open a screen with half a dozen or so radio buttons you can switch to on\/off positions. One of these is labelled \u201cOccasionally Show Suggestions In Start.\u201d By default, this is set to the on position, but clicking it will turn it off. Voila! No more \u201csuggestions\u201d popping up and prompting you to buy this or that app.<\/p>\n<p>To date, the \u201csuggestions\u201d feature hasn\u2019t generated a loud chorus of complaints, but there have been a sufficient number of them to warrant a short piece outlining how to disable it. We\u2019ll keep an ear to the ground for similar things, and if we spot something else, we\u2019ll walk you through how to get rid of or work around other unwanted features as they\u2019re brought to our attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you currently running Windows 10?
