Show me suggested content in the Settings app
This per-user DWORD value controls a channel used to display suggested content in Windows Settings.
since 0.9.8.11
Purpose
Show registry keys (1)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager\SubscribedContent-338393Enabled
This per-user DWORD value controls a channel used to display suggested content in Windows Settings. Setting it to 0 disables suggestions delivered through that channel for the affected user.
Suggested content can introduce features available in Settings or recommend content and apps that may be of interest. Disabling it removes those suggestions without disabling the Settings pages or the underlying Windows features.
Notes
Possible side effects
The user may receive fewer notices about new or previously unused Windows features, content, and apps within Settings.
Notes
This is an individual HKCU registry value, not a device-wide ADMX-backed policy. Its scope is limited to the corresponding user profile.
The value does not, by itself, disable other Windows recommendation or personalization features. Personalized offers, the advertising ID, Start recommendations, and lock-screen content are controlled separately.
Microsoft documents the user-facing setting and its behavior, but does not document SubscribedContent-338393Enabled as a supported ADMX or Policy CSP interface. The internal use of individual ContentDeliveryManager values may therefore vary between Windows versions.
