How to stop windows from asking me this?
it’s annoying

Hi Olaann ,
The screen you're seeing is part of the Windows 11 Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) and setup process. It's designed to encourage you to connect to Microsoft services like OneDrive, Microsoft 365, Edge, and more.
If you're finding this nag screen annoying and want to block or bypass it, below is the process you need to perform
Press Win + R → type regedit → press Enter.
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UserProfileEngagement
Create or modify the ScoobeSystemSettingEnabled DWORD key:
Name: ScoobeSystemSettingEnabled
Value: 0
Reboot your system.
This should block those “You're almost done” prompts.
If this doesn't work, let me know so I can provide another solution.
