Wondering how to disable and remove Feedback Hub on Windows 10?
There are times when it is better to disable certain Windows features for the sake of confidentiality, functionality, and ease of use. A good example is the Feedback Hub.
Windows 10 Feedback Hub is where users can submit feedback on any and all aspects of Windows 10 – bugs, glitches, new features, and apps. The tool is mainly used by Windows insiders, so it may not be of much use to most users. Additionally, it sometimes generates annoying notifications that can be distracting.
For those of you no longer interested in using the Feedback hub or irritated with unnecessary notifications, this is the place you’re looking for. In this guide, we’ll guide you through removing the Feedback Hub from Windows 10 in a few easy steps.
