@hellbringer Disabling completely or only when the same user logs in again?

Option to disable the popup completely for any user that logs on to a system (computer group policy) Option to toggle in the settings "Don't show new features popup after updates" per user preference.

Why: Every time the PowerToys app gets updated it popups a message with a lot of text with all the new features, nobody reads those and just clicks away the popup without reading. Most users find these popups annoying. To prevent annoying users with information they don't read, disable the popup.
