How to Disable Windows Feedback Prompts via Regedit

Windows periodically displays prompts asking for user feedback to improve its services and features. While intended to be helpful, these notifications can interrupt your workflow. This guide provides a straightforward method to permanently disable the Windows feedback frequency prompts by modifying settings in the Windows Registry Editor (Regedit).

Step 1: Open the Registry Editor

  1. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.
  2. Type regedit into the field and press Enter or click OK.
  3. If prompted by User Account Control (UAC), click Yes to grant administrative permissions.

Step 2: Navigate to the Feedback Registry Key

In the Registry Editor address bar at the top, paste the following path and press Enter:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Siuf\Rules

Note: If the Siuf or Rules keys do not exist, right-click on the parent key, select New > Key, and name them accordingly.

Step 3: Modify the Feedback Frequency Value

  1. With the Rules folder selected in the left pane, look for the NumberOfSIUFInPeriod DWORD value in the right pane.
  2. If it does not exist, right-click on an empty space in the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it NumberOfSIUFInPeriod.
  3. Double-click NumberOfSIUFInPeriod to open its properties.
  4. Set the Value data to 0.
  5. Ensure the Base is set to Hexadecimal or Decimal, then click OK.

Step 4: Disable Notifications System-Wide (Alternative Policy Method)

To ensure feedback prompts are disabled for all users on the machine:

  1. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection
  2. Right-click in the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it DoNotShowFeedbackNotifications.
  3. Double-click the newly created value, set the Value data to 1, and click OK.

Step 5: Apply Changes

Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer for the changes to take full effect. Windows will no longer prompt you for feedback notifications.
