Can I remove the Cloud Storage and Microsoft 365 tiles from Settings in Windows 10?

While remaining logged in, is it possible to remove the ‘Cloud Storage/OneDrive’ and ‘Get the most out of Microsoft 365’ tiles from the ‘Settings’ home screen in Windows 10 Pro? Is it necessary to use a local account? In 2025, it will be possible to remove these tiles via PowerShell, but is it still possible to do so now?

    Yes, those tiles are part of Microsoft’s built-in recommendations in the Windows 10 Settings app, mainly used to promote services like OneDrive and Microsoft 365. Unfortunately, there isn’t a direct option to completely remove them from Settings. However, you can reduce these suggestions by turning off tips and recommendations in Settings > System > Notifications & Actions. Some advanced users also use Group Policy or registry tweaks to limit Microsoft service promotions within the system.

    Currently, there’s no official way via PowerShell or built-in settings to remove or hide these specific tiles within the Settings app. Microsoft has indicated that in 2025, it will be possible to do so via PowerShell, but until then, options are limited.

    The fact that you mentioned a specific 2025 timeline suggests you might be running an insider preview build or a specific updated version where Microsoft flagged this change. In many stable consumer versions of Windows 10, these tiles are still "static" and tied to specific registry keys or Group Policy Objects (GPOs). If you are on a standard release (like 22H2), the PowerShell commands that work now are often different from the ones that will work in a hypothetical 2025 update.
