IMPORTANT: Before you go ahead, I strongly encourage you to read this article: What is the Feedback Hub? How to find and give feedback to Microsoft.

Scroll down on the right side of the Settings window until you see the Feedback frequency section. There, click or tap on the dropdown list below the line: “Windows should ask for my feedback.” Then, choose the value you want in the list that is shown. By default, Windows 10 is set to ask for your feedback Automatically. If you use a stable release of Windows 10, you won’t see frequent feedback prompts. However, if you’re part of the Windows Insider program, testing the latest development builds from Microsoft, you’ll often see such prompts.

If you don’t want to see any prompts for feedback, select Never. If you want to give Microsoft some feedback from time to time, choose a value like “Once a week” or “Once a day.” Your setting is applied immediately for the user account you’re using. Close the Settings window, and you’re done.
