Every so often, I see a small orange dot above my icon on the Start Menu. When I click on my icon, I see a message asking me to sign into my Microsoft account.
I always select "Remind me later". But is there a way to stop this message from EVER popping up ?
I sometimes see that message on my machine at work. (with a local account)
I never see it on my machine at home. (Also a local account)
I don't know the reason for the difference. Research suggests:
Go to start > settings > system > notifications
Turn off the "Get tips, tricks and suggestions as you use Windows".
I have a local account and ever since I turned OFF this new Setting - "Show Account-related notifications", I've not seen the orange nag dot.
new switch button appeared in Settings
Thanks for the replies everyone.
1. The majority of the time I use my Local Standard Account & I very seldom use my Local Administrator Account.
2. In both accounts, I've double-checked Settings>System>Notifications & Action, all 3 below are turned off:
* Show me the Windows welcome experience after updates & occasionally when I sign in to highlight what's new & suggested
* Suggest ways I can finish setting up my device to get the most out of Windows
* Get tips, tricks and suggestions as you use Windows
Right now, the small orange dot & message are not shown. Hopefully it will stay that way.
