If you’re a cautious user, you might not like Windows poking you with security messages all the time as you’re already following all the rules. So, in this event you might want to turn off security messages and alerts.
Cyber security is a major talking point these days. Some very noticeable data breaches have further pushed it into the limelight. People are now majorly concerned about how secure they are when using a computer. Parents, for example, are extremely cautious nowadays as to whether how much safe their children are from the evils nested inside the Internet.
Microsoft has duly recognized this and has pledged to ensure maximum cyber security for its users. This was one of the most attended components during the development of Windows 10 as surveys showed how concerned users were about their privacy and security. To ensure maximum protection, Windows 10 comes with an armory of features that have gone strength to strength in their protection of the public. These includes improved family management, improved SmartScreen for Edge and Internet Explorer etc.
To further increase your security and to keep you updated on the current situation of your computer, Microsoft has also included the occasional popping up of security messages and alerts. This feature has been around since Windows Vista and has continued on into Windows 10.
While most people would like to keep this feature enabled, for some this is something annoying as Windows does have the tendency to repeatedly send messages concerning something that might be of no harm. If this annoys you, you can turn off security messages by following the steps below.
Steps to disable security messages & alerts in Windows 10
Step 1: Open Control Panel.
Step 2: Click on System And Security.
Step 3: Click on Security and Maintenance.
Step 4: From the list of options on the left, click on Change security and maintenance settings.
Step 5: In the resulting window, uncheck the boxes whose messages you don’t wish to receive as shown in the image below.
Click on OK and you’re done.
For Windows Clan, your security comes first. We would recommend you not to turn off security messages as something that might seem of no harm to you, might actually be harmful for your computer. It is better to bear with these notifications rather than putting your security in even a millimeter of risk.
