Users who installed Windows 11 on unsupported devices (e.g., without TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot) may see the following notification in the lower-right corner of the desktop:
"System requirements not met. See Settings for more details."
A warning also appears in Settings → System → About. These messages do not affect system functionality but can be annoying. This guide explains how to disable them using Group Policy Editor or the Registry Editor.
Disabling via Group Policy Editor
This method works for Windows 11 Pro and Enterprise:
Open the editor:
Press Win + R, type gpedit.msc, press Enter.
Or right-click Start → Run → gpedit.msc.
Navigate to Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → System.
Find "Hide messages when Windows system requirements are not met", double-click it.
Set it to "Enabled", then click Apply → OK.
Restart your PC or log out and log back in.
Disabling via Registry Editor
For Windows 11 Home users:
Press Win + R, type regedit, press Enter.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
Right-click → New → DWORD (32-bit) Value, name it HideUnsupportedHardwareNotifications.
Double-click, set the value to 1, click OK.
Restart your PC.
Quick method using a REG file
Open Notepad, paste:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "HideUnsupportedHardwareNotifications"=dword:00000001Save it as hide_notifications.reg.
Double-click the file and confirm the changes.
Restart your PC.
These methods hide notifications but do not make your PC officially compatible. Microsoft may restrict updates for unsupported devices in the future.
