If somebody repeatedly offers you help in situations where you really don’t need any help, what will you do? Of course you will do something to stop the nuisance.

Reportedly windows 7 and windows 10 also sometimes exhibit this problem. But I am experiencing this nuisance for the first time with my new laptop running on windows 11.
The first thing you will suspect in this situation is a sticky F1 key. But in my case the F1 key had no problem. You may suspect whether the mischief is caused by a malware. To rule out this possibility you may scan your system with a reliable antimalware. In my case there was no malware attack.
If you try a google search to rectify the unwanted windows help popup you will find many solutions from simple to complicated, One of them is the disabling of all notifications.

Now go to the bottom where you will find Additional settings. Click on Additional settings. You will find three checked boxes. Uncheck the third box showing “Get tips and suggestions when using windows”. This is shown below:
