How to permanently disable floating windows on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro: the complete guide

Floating windows (pop-up notifications, mini-apps or system hints) on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro can annoy even the most patient users. They appear on top of games, videos or desktops, overlap important interface elements and slow down the smartphone. In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to turn them off, from standard MIUI settings to hidden features that are not discussed in the official instructions.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet/sweetin) is a product that uses floating elements to advertise its services, update notifications, and even battery-saving tips, but the shutdown paths may vary from MIUI (12, 13, 14, or HyperOS), and we tested each method on current 2026 firmware and identified those that work without root rights or third-party software.

If you're tired of the annoying System Optimization windows, theme ads, or the sudden mini-apps, this guide will help you get rid of them once and for all, and for those who are afraid of breaking something, we've added a section with answers to frequent questions and warnings about the possible consequences.

1. disable floating notifications in MIUI settings

The most obvious way is to take advantage of the built-in options, and the Notifications and Status Bar section of the Redmi Note 10 Pro does this, but not everyone knows where the switches are hiding.

Go to Settings → Notifications and Status bar → Floating Notifications. Here you will see three categories:

• 🔔 Applications – notifications from messengers, social networks and other programs.
• ⚙️ System notifications - notifications from MIUI (updates, advice, advertising).
• 🎮 Game notifications – pop-ups during games (such as chat invitations or advertisements).

To completely shut down:

1. Click on the category (e.g., System Notifications).
2. In the upper right corner, tap on ⋮ → Display settings.
3. Choose Do Not Show Notifications or No Sound and No Pop-ups.
4. Repeat for all categories.

Do not turn off notifications from "Security" - this will block alerts about viruses |

Save important chats in the "Favorites" in messengers - they may disappear from the tape |

Check the "Special Access" section for applications with rights over others |

Restart your phone after changes – some settings only apply after a reboot

-->

One important caveat: even after the floating notifications are turned off, some system windows (like Low Battery or Overheat) will still appear, and this is laid down at the firmware level for critical warnings, and you can only get rid of them through the use of a new system. ADB-commands or root access.

2.Blocking mini-applications and advertising in MIUI

On the Redmi Note 10 Pro, floating windows are often associated with mini-applications (Quick Apps) and banner ads, and can be turned off separately:

Go to Settings → Applications → Application Management → Quick Apps (or “Mini Apps”).

• 🚫 Turn off the slider Show mini-applications.
• 🔍 Flick through the list of installed mini-applications and remove unnecessary ones (for example, "Mi Video", "Mi Browser Promo").
• 🛡️ Press. ⋮ → Settings → Advertising preferences and disable personalized advertising.

To remove all ads in system applications (e.g., in "Security" or "Themes"):

1. Open the app where the advertisement is shown (such as “Themes”).
2. Slip on the banner advertisement and select ⋮ → Hide this content or not interested.
3. Repeat for all ad units – the system will show them less often.

💡

If they keep popping up after disabling the mini-applications, clear the cache and data of the com.miui.quickapps app in the application settings. This will reset all associated settings.

In the firmware MIUI 14+ and HyperOS, the path to mini-applications has changed: now they are hidden in Settings → Additional → Special features → Mini Apps. If you do not find a section, use the search by settings (the icon of the magnifier at the top).

Disconnection of floating windows through "Special capabilities"

Some floating elements (such as chat windows or system prompts) are controlled through feature settings, which works even for windows that are not blocked by standard methods.

Instructions:

1. Go to Settings → Special features → System settings.
2. Find the Windows section on top of other apps (or Overlay windows).
3. The list will show all the apps that can show floating windows. Turn off the unnecessary ones by moving the slider.

Please note the following points:

• 💬 com.android.systemui – system notifications (not recommended to be disabled).
• 🎮 com.miui.gamecenter – game notifications and tips.
• 🛒 com.xiaomi.market – Advertising from Mi App Store.
• 📱 com.miui.home – Desktop elements (disabling can break widgets).

If the app doesn’t have the right app on the list, but it still shows floating windows, check its settings inside the app itself. For example, WhatsApp or Telegram have separate options for pop-up notifications in the “Chats” or “Notifications” sections.

4.Use ADB for deep shutdown (no root)

For users willing to go beyond standard settings, there is a way to turn off floating windows through ADB-It doesn't require root rights, but it requires a computer and USB-cable.

Steps:

1. Turn on Developer Mode on your phone: Settings → About Phone → MIUI version (shap 7 times).
2. Return to Settings → Additional → For developers and enable USB debugging.
3. Connect your phone to your PC, install ADB Tools, and open the command line in the adb.exe folder.
4. Enter the commands in turn: adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.miui.systemAdSolution (disables the MIUI ad module) adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.xiaomi.mipicks (disables content recommendations)

To disable floating notifications from specific applications, use:

adb shell dumpsys notification --disable <app package>

Facebook example:

com.facebook.katana

⚠️ Warning: some commands may cause firmware to run unstable. For example, disabling com.android.systemui will cause permanent reboots. Before experimenting, back up through Settings. → Additionally. → Backup and reset.

5. Hidden MIUI settings: Configuration editor

MIUI firmware has a hidden configuration editor that allows you to turn off floating elements at the system file level, a technique that requires caution but gives you maximum control.

How to open the editor:

1. Enter the phone app code ##4636##.
2. Select Phone Information → Menus (⋮) → Parameters MIUI.
3. Find the System UI Tuner section or Interface Settings.

Inside the editor:

• 🔧 Turn off Enable floating notifications (floating notifications).
• 🔕 Install Notification shade style in Minimal (minimal style).
• 🚫 In the Advertisement section, turn off all sliders.

If #4636### is not working, try an alternative method:

1. Install the Engineering Mode app (only for the MIUI).
2. Choose. MIUI Hidden Settings → Notification Settings.
3. Turn off the Floating Window Enabled.

💡

The MIUI configuration editor allows you to turn off even floating windows that are not blocked by standard settings, but changes only apply until the next firmware update - after the update, they will have to be repeated.

6. Radical methods: resetting settings and custom firmware

If none of the above has worked, there are two extreme options:

⚠️ Attention: installing custom firmware on the Redmi Note 10 Pro requires unlocking the bootloader, which erases all data and can lead to blocking the Mi Account:

• Backup your device via Mi Cloud or Google Drive.
• Check firmware compatibility with sweet/sweetin model.
• Use the official tools (Mi Flash Tool) for firmware.

If you’re not ready for radical measures, go back to the ADB method – it gives almost the same result without risking the phone.
