How to disable Microsoft Authenticator notification

Question

I keep on getting ads in the Windows 10 Notification Center to sign up for Microsoft Authenticator. I keep on suppressing the ads but they keep on coming back. Is there a way to permanently disable these ads?

Answer 1

Here's what worked for me, though it does turn off a little more than just that notification.

After getting the notification, don't click on the cross or remove it.

1. Open the notification drawer
2. You should see the suggestion under a title of "Suggestions"
3. Right click on the title "Suggestions" and select "Turn off notifications for Suggestions"

Answer 2

The Microsoft Authenticator prompt is maybe coming up because you turned on Two-step verification.

Try this from the article Turning two-step verification on or off for your Microsoft account :

• Go to Security settings and sign in with your Microsoft account.
• Under the Two-step verification section choose ... Turn off two-step verification to turn it off.
• Follow the instructions.

Answer 3

You should go to PC Settings -> System -> Notifications & actions. "Suggested" switch can found at the bottom. Here you'll find all applications that have the ability to pop-up notifications and the switches to turn the authorization on or off.

Answer 4

I use the registry to disable notifications, the specific steps are as follows:

1. Press the WINDOWS+R key on the desktop, and then open the Run menu window and enter "regedit" to open Registry Editor.

2. After entering Windows Registry Editor, we navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows project, double-click on the item on the left and open them.

3. After we find the last Windows subkey, we right-click the subkey and select the New->key menu.

4. In the pop-up menu, name the item "Explorer", then right-click on the new Explorer item, select New-Dword (32-bit), and then type "DisableNotificationCenter" in the Open page.

5. Double-click to establish the DisableNotificationCenter subkey item, open it and set the value data to "1", and then click the OK button.

6. Save the change settings for the registry, and then right-click in the taskbar on the desktop and select Open Task Manager. Locate the Windows Explorer in Task Manager, and then Restart the Explorer program.

Tip: If you want to restore the list of WIN10 notification bar programs, you only need to delete the Explorer items in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows directory in the registry. Then restart the Windows Explorer.
