How to Disable the "Finish Setting Up Windows 11" Page

In this lesson, we'll discuss steps to disable the Windows 11 page prompting users to finish setting up their device, a page that appears often after installing updates or restarting.

Problem Description

  • Purpose of the Page: Encourages configuration of features like OneDrive, Microsoft 365, and switching to Microsoft Edge.
  • Options Available: Provides a "Continue" button but only allows for a "Remind me in three days" or "Remind me later" option, causing recurring prompts.

Solution: Disabling the Page

Via Windows Settings

  1. Open Start Menu: Search for and open "Settings".
  2. Navigate to System: Go to "System" and then select "Notifications".
  3. Adjust Additional Settings:
    • Scroll down and click on "Additional settings".
    • Clear the option "Suggest ways to get the most out of Windows and finish setting up this device".
    • Optionally, clear options related to receiving tips or seeing the Windows Welcome Experience after updates.

Via Registry Editor

Note: Editing the registry is risky; create a backup first.

  1. Open Start Menu: Search for "Registry" and open the Registry Editor.
  2. Navigate to the Path:
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UserProfileEngagement
  3. Modify Settings:
    • Locate the relevant DWORD value.
    • Right-click, select "Modify", and set the value from 1 to 0.
    • Click "OK" and restart the computer to apply changes.

Reset Configuration

  • To re-enable the settings, change the DWORD value back to 1 in the registry.

Conclusion

Disabling the "Finish Setting Up" page can reduce unnecessary prompts. Remember that changes in the registry often require a system restart to take effect.
