How to Disable Windows Finish Setup Notifications. - Pete - 08-07-2024
In a recent Windows update a push notifications was added to constantly remind you to back up your entire system and finish setting up all the BS folks like me don't want. One-Drive, Office 365, Windows HELLo, mobile phone sync, etc. The popup only lets you delay setup for 3 days each time you choose not the continue. To disable it, you need to go to settings.
1) Type "Notifications" in your Windows task bar search line and open the Turn Notifications on and off selection.
2) Near the top, UNCHECK the box that reads: "Suggest ways I can finish setting up my device to get the most out of Windows."
3) Close the Settings app.
That should get rid of the pesky popup for good! I'll let you know if it doesn't, in 3 days.

Oh never mind, I forgot that updates seem to IGNORE user option settings and set things back.

I was never afraid of dying and going to Hell until I heard of the existence of Bill Gates. Maybe I'll get lucky and just have to bunk with Hitler. Brimstone Updates are nothing to look forward to.

No I won't install
It's no good at all
You can stand me up at the "Gates" of Hell
But I won't install
Hey baby, there ain't no way to opt out
Hey I will heed this call
And I won't install
No I won't install
-SNDPLAY that!
