I know that I know the answer but brain has filled up. Those damn silly pop ups - "take a windows tour now" or "unused icons on your desktop". How do I get rid of them and can I get rid through group policy??

The take a windows tour now should have a box you can put a check mark in to not show the window again.

For the unused icons notice:
Right click your desktop, select Properties, select the Desktop tab, select Customize
Desktop, and uncheck the box that says Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard Every 60 Days.

Start run gpedit.msc > User config > Administrative templates > Start menu and Taskbar.

Enable Remove balloon tips on start menu items.

Hope it helps
