**Short answer:** When you copy a date or a phone number, Windows 11 shows a small popup offering to create an event or call the number. This tweak switches suggested actions off. In the registry it sets Disabled to 1 under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SmartActionPlatform\SmartClipboard.

## In the app

- Switch: Disable Suggested Actions (Debloat, Free, Standard)
- Undo: Yes. Switching it off puts back exactly what was there before, value for value.

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SmartActionPlatform\SmartClipboard" /v "Disabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
```

See what it is set to now:
