Annoying messages about past rewards program has to be stopped!

[Scar88]

After EVERY sign-in to Windows, a Popup message about some rewards program appears:

If I click "No Thank you", another message pops up:

And I have to klick "Yes" and then I can start working on the computer! 

If I click the "HP Rewards" button on first popup, a web page opens, which says that rewards program is over:

 

The page suggest that updating of printer software will remove the popup, ant there is a button "Update HP Printer software". Clicking that button, however, leads to nowhere:

We downloaded the latest software for this printer from standard support page (instead of the non-working link above), and we installed it, but that had no effect of the annoying popup.

SO, HP, WHAT YOU SUGGEST ?

Welcome to the HP User Community.

The Rewards campaign that is stuck in your printer software was ended years ago in 2017.

Unfortunately - at that time - it was thought that tying the Rewards campaign to the software was a good idea.

It was discovered that attaching rewards to printer software is not a good idea -- this method to advertise "rewards" has not been used since that time.  Details are included at the end of this message.

If your printer and its printer software version were new enough, the annoying message could (would) be removed when you uninstall the old printer software > Restart the computer > Install a fresh copy of the printer software. 

Wait!  The software for your older printer is an older version - reinstalling might not eliminate the message.

Settings > System > Focus Assist

Set / Select "Priority Only" and create a customization / priority list

OR

Set / Select "Alarms Only"

Under Automatic Rules

Decide whether you want to "Do not Disturb" time - set those hours.

Switch everything else to ON

Optional > Check "Show me a summary of what I missed while focus assist was on"

Method - Switch off Notifications (Windows 10)

Settings > System > Notifications and actions >

Beneath Notifications, set the following to OFF
