Again and again, suggestions or advertisements for certain content appear in the Windows 10 timeline. However, you can deactivate them relatively easily and thus limit the timeline to your own activities. You can read how to do this in this article.
Disable timeline ads in Windows 10
Since build 17063, Windows 10 has the so-called timeline, which you can open with the key combination [Windows] + [Tab]. All your activities are displayed chronologically there. You can deactivate the occasional advertising in between in the settings.
- To do this, open the settings with the key combination [Windows] + [i].
- Then click on the "System" category.
- Select the "Multitasking" entry in the left column
- On the right side you will find the entry "Timeline". Set the button for "Occasionally show suggestions in the timeline" to "Off".
- Your changes are automatically applied and the advertising is removed from the timeline.
Windows 10 shows advertisements by default not only in the timeline. Therefore, on the next few pages we will tell you how to hide the ads in the start menu and remove them on the lock screen of Windows 10.
