How to turn off game notifications in Windows 10 - Father and Daughter Playing at Home

I upgraded to Windows 10 today. I'm kinda liking it but every time I launch a game, it pops up some stupid notification, like "Use this keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot", or "Use this combo to open the Game Bar".

How can I make Windows 10 stop pestering me with things I don't want to do when I launch games?
