The Windows 10 Settings app displays online video tutorials and tips on its right side, which can be viewed in full-screen mode as well. If you wish to, you can disable these online tips via REGEDIT or GPEDIT. Depending on the size of your screen display, these online tips and tutorials are seen below the page controls or on the right side. They may appear informative on most occasions. But if you find them annoying, you can hide or disable online tips in Windows 10.
