kiddingguy Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Today I had reset my PC. I found out that in settings now is a top bar. With different settings, my MS account. But also the "promotion" of Microsoft's Edge as default browser. Why? I would like to get rid of this bar... I didn't had it on my previous Win 10 Pro installation. How can I do this? Some registry setting, a Windows Update that I don't know of, or have not installed yet? Or maybe something else?

Brandon H Supervisor Posted May 7, 2021 Supervisor Share Posted May 7, 2021 I don't think it can be disabled unfortunately. At least I haven't found/heard of a way. They've been slowly rolling it out to users over the last year or so.

kiddingguy Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) I just came across this article: https://www.intowindows.com/how-to-disable-windows-10-settings-header-banner/ But... can this Mach2 utility be trusted? Also, it's mentioned here https://techdows.com/2020/10/settings-header-in-windows-10.html that "As of now, there is no way to disable this. Microsoft warned not to use third-party tools to enable or disable the new Settings UI when the feature was introduced." But... if I were Microsoft I'd say the same Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1407686-annoying-bar-in-windows-10-settings-how-to-get-rid-of-it/#findComment-598642833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
