As new editions of Windows 10 are released, in this specific case version 1709 , we find a series of novelties, improvements and additions in search of improving the end user experience..

One of these developments is the various tips which are located in the right section of the desktop where we will see tips on the use of the operating system and, in some cases, we can even view video tutorials on how to perform an action.

Through this tutorial, TechnoWikis wants to explain how to disable these tips in Windows 10..
