How to rid off “Let’s finish setting up your device” on Windows 11

The “Let’s finish setting up your device” prompt on Windows 11 is a notification that appears after installing updates or setting up a new user account, encouraging users to complete the configuration of Microsoft services such as Windows Hello, OneDrive, Microsoft 365, and Phone Link. Its purpose is to guide users to enable and personalize these features to get the most out of Windows 11.

However, many users find this prompt repetitive and intrusive because it appears frequently at startup or login, offering only options like “Continue” or “Remind me in 3 days,” with no straightforward way to permanently dismiss it. This prompt is part of the Windows welcome experience, aiming to promote Microsoft’s ecosystem services but can be frustrating for those who prefer not to use these features or want a cleaner startup experience. To disable the “Let’s finish setting up your device” prompt in Windows 11, you can use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Disable via Settings (Easiest)

1. Press Windows + I to open Settings.
2. Go to System > Notifications.
3. Scroll down and click Additional settings (at the bottom).
4. Uncheck “Suggest ways to get the most out of Windows and finish setting up this device”.
5. (Optional) Also uncheck “Show the Windows welcome experience after updates and when signed in to show what’s new and suggested” to disable welcome tips.
6. Restart your PC if needed.

This will stop the prompt and related notifications from appearing.

Method 2: Disable via Registry Editor

1. Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to: textHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager

This disables the prompt at the system level.

Method 3: Disable via Group Policy Editor (for Pro Editions)

2. Navigate to: textComputer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Installation > Device Installation Restrictions
3. Find and double-click Prevent device setup prompt.
4. Set it to Enabled.
5. Click OK and restart your PC.

These methods effectively stop Windows 11 from showing the “Let’s finish setting up your device” prompt, reducing interruptions and improving your user experience.
