Regularly I get this splash screen after turning on my laptop. It say let's finish setting up your pc, or remind me later in 3 days.I have already skipped this through by saying I do not want the windows office 365, but few weeks later it come back and remind me again. Is there a setting or registry edit to turn this off permanent ?

    Try these steps:

    1. Run regedit command to open Registry Editor.
    2. In left pane of Registry Editor window, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UserProfileEngagement.
    3. Double click and set ScoobeSystemSettingEnabled to 0.

    PS. If you're new to registry, create a System Restore point before above steps.

    In the Settings app, click on the "System" then select "Notifications" from the sub-categories.

    Under the "Notifications & actions" section, uncheck the box next to "Suggest ways I can finish setting up my device to get the most out of Windows." This will disable the "Let's Finish Setting Up Your PC" prompt.

    On the Notifications page, I scrolled all the way down to the bottom and saw an Additional Settings option. When I clicked on that, I saw the boxes to uncheck to stop the notifications.

    I'm amazed that Microsoft are not giving a simple feature for us admins to prevent this from showing on shared PC's - I can imagine college's having a nightmare when students go to the library and don't get their fave PC so as such have to be delayed by 5 mins whilst waiting for screen to show. This is madness.

    Why is this showing up at random 3 weeks after installing Windows 11? This is bullshit.
