Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Cloud Content Description
This policy setting prevents Windows tips from being shown to users. If you enable this policy setting, users will no longer see Windows tips. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, users may see contextual popups explaining how to use Windows. Microsoft uses diagnostic data to determine which tips to show. Note: If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, but enable the "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Data Collection and Preview Builds\Allow Telemetry" policy setting with a level of "Basic" or below, users may see a limited set of tips. Also, this setting only applies to Enterprise and Education SKUs.
