Windows 10 is amazing. Its Action Center notifications are also amazing. But soon after upgrading to Microsoft’s new operating system, you’ll find that it does something that’s nothing short of amazing: spitting out notifications (ads, actually) cajoling you into buying or upgrading Office. That’s one of them above.

Fortunately, disabling ads is incredibly simple. The only tricky part is identifying where they’re coming from, but we’ve got you covered. The culprit is the new Get Office app that comes pre-installed in Windows 10.

Sayonara, get the office.

There are a few different ways to turn off Get Office notifications. If you never plan to take advantage of the Office discounts available in the app, the scorched-earth approach gets the job done quickly. Simply open the All Applications list from the Start menu, right-click the Get Office application and select Uninstall. You will be prompted to confirm the removal; do so. Boom! Done.

But there is another way to silence those annoying ads without deleting Get Office from your operating system. Open the Start menu and go to Settings > System > Notifications and Actions.
