When Microsoft introduced this feature, they actually added a Personalizataion setting to turn some of it off. Just open Windows 10’s Settings app, head to Personalization, and click the Start tab. From there, just switch off “Occasionally Show Suggestions in Start”.

To turn off all suggestions, you’ll need to disable the entire “Microsoft Consumer Experience”, which you can only do from the Registry Editor or Group Policy Editor. If you aren’t comfortable doing so, this setting will help a little. But if you’re willing to dig in, here’s how to get rid of those suggestions completely.
