17 R5, toggle off screen banner bloatware
There is more than enough advertising bloatware on my screen. It is possible to toggle off Microsoft's Windows 10 Settings Banner/Header. Has anyone discovered how to toggle off Dell's Community Forum Header?

It is possible and I have toggled off Microsoft's Windows 10 Settings Banner/Header bloatware.
However, I seem to be stuck with the Khoros, Dell Community Forum Header. IMHO this is just window dressing bloatware and serves no useful purpose. The forum identity is already declared as Dell Community / Laptops / Alienware.
Some of the other useful functions have been removed. This is disappointingly a step backwards.

The Dell Community Forum header widget cannot be made smaller. In fact, none of the other widget can be adjusted. The sizes are dictated by the Khorus software. We do not consider it bloatware. I have no idea about the Windows 10 Settings/Header Banner.

Hi Dell Community Team, thanks for today's Dell EMC Community email. Although this topic recently received replies, there is no solution. IMHO this very large Dell Community Forum header widget serves no purpose, and failed to correctly identify the forum as Alienware Laptops. The Khorus software header is just more rubbish on the screen, so request user toggle off option.

Try signing with your account and go to windows defender to turn off the one drive issue. For Dell that’s just their redesign of the website. @DELL-Chris M Is there a way you know how to turn it off?

Quick Tip: If your laptop has voltage / charging issues, try shutting it down, unplugging power from laptop, hold power button down for 30 seconds to do a full reset!
