The post guides users on how to turn on or off the suggested content feature in Windows 11. Suggested content can provide relevant recommendations within the Settings app, which helps discover useful features, new content, and apps. While this feature is beneficial for beginners, it may be unnecessary and distracting for advanced users.

This article explains how to turn on or off suggested content within the Settings app in Windows 11.

Windows has a suggested content feature that can offer suggestions throughout the Settings app.

This content comes in various forms and can help you discover features within Settings or suggest new content and apps you might find interesting. By default, suggested content is enabled to help you discover Windows and other new features within the Settings app.

This may be helpful for new users and students, especially when learning how to configure Windows using its many settings. In addition, leaving suggested content features enabled may help them use and configure Windows easily.

For advanced users who already know how and where settings are in Windows, suggested content may not be of much value and may add additional distractions when using Windows.

How to turn off suggested content within Settings in Windows 11

As mentioned above, you can enable or disable suggested content in the Settings app in Windows 11.

Here’s how to do it.

First, open the Windows Settings app.

Then, select Privacy & security on the left and the General tile on the right to expand it.

On the “Privacy & security > General” settings pane, select the “Show me suggested content in the Settings app” tile. Then, toggle the button switch to the On position to enable it.

To disable it, toggle the switch button to the Off position.

Exit the Settings app when you’re done.

Turn on or off suggested content in Settings using the Windows Registry Editor

Yet another way to enable or disable showing suggested content in the Settings app is to use the Windows Registry editor.

First, open the Windows Registry and navigate to the folder key path below.

Disable or enable for current user:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager

Next, double-click the (REG_DWORD) names below listed on the ContentDeliveryManager pane on the right.

  • SubscribedContent-338393Enabled
  • SubscribedContent-353694Enabled
  • SubscribedContent-353696Enabled

For each item, enter a value 1 to turn on suggested content in the Settings app.

Enter a value 0 to disable suggested content in the Settings app.

If you do not see the items listed, right-click a blank area and create a new DWORD (32-bit) registry.

Warning: Editing the Registry can be risky and may cause irreversible damage to your installation if not done correctly. It’s recommended to back up your PC before proceeding.

Save your changes and restart your computer.
