Windows 10 and application notifications

I need help with turning the annoying application (such as Word, Excel, Outlook, Explorer, etc.) notifications that pop up. My boss is ready to pull out his hair. He hates seeing things like, "are you sure you want to have this as your default browser" or ones in Outlook etc. I googled it and found ways to turn off Windows notifications but not all the other notifications. Any thoughts?

Thanks so much,
Tina

If your boss has a tendency to use different browsers, (and it's fine if he does - he doesn't have to "always use the same applications") choose ONE to be the default and turn off default browser check setting in the other browsers.  If you don't know how to do this, name the browsers and we'll provide instructions.

Specifically what other applications is he receiving notifications from? And what type of warnings? Please be more specific.

If he is using more than one application that wants to be a default, there are ways to turn off that behavior when he uses them - you need to name the problematic applications however before we can help you.

Suggestion:

Decrease The  level of User Account Control (UAC) in Windows.
UAC set to Default does not cause any issue with our users. If you do decrease the level, do not turn it off.
