Complaining about Chrome

Starting a few months ago, Windows now complains every time I launch Chrome — telling me how much more than Edge it eats battery power. It does this in VMs and laptops, but thankfully not what it recognizes as a “normal” desktop.

My problem is there’s no checkbox for “Don’t tell me this again.” like they usually provide. So is there some other way to get Windows to permanently stop complaining about Chrome?

    <p>I don't know, but while we're on the topic… Every time I go to google.com using Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE, or Edge, there's a banner ad or pop up telling me I should switch to Chrome cause it's the faster browser, or a message about switching my default search engine to google, with no apparent way to turn it off. Anyway to turn that off? </p>

    <p>If it only happens when you launch Chrome is it really that much of an issue? However, if it happens while you're actually using Chrome then I agree that is a problem.</p>
