REMOVE, DISABLE, HIDE Windows 10 Settings Header
OMG I NEED TO GET RID OF THIS THING PLEEEEEEEEEEASE
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
For me that stupid banner appeared today. Maybe cause of the regional version of W10.
It is indeed just utterly useless and misleading. The mention that the browser can be improved is just 1000% misleading: I am sure that MS want to make Edge the default.
I did try the suggested site and solution here to disable, but that didn't work here (latest 20H2).
But this one does work: https://winaero.com/disable-settings-header-banner-in-windows-10-2004-and-20h2/
to remove pls follow the steps given here
it is safe

Everyone keeps suggesting tools that require one to bypass security checking while operating in administrator mode. Sorry, won't do that, no matter how clean the suggested code might be.
Someone at Microsoft needs to make this horror-show banner configurable. I have two systems at 21H1 now, and one has this banner, and one does not. The primary difference is that I goofed and provided a Microsoft account login when I upgraded the one with the banner, but used my local account when upgrading the one without the banner. So, it IS configurable. Microsoft, please expose the values needed to shut it off!
I'm sure they'll do that right after they remove the auto-truncation of the username that happens when installing using a microsoft account :P (which is still a thing in windows 11 after years of people going ham over it)
