Why am I getting this "Let's finish setting up your device" blue screen?
Hello Rod-F,
Go to Settings > System > Notifications & actions and uncheck Suggest ways I can finish setting up my device to get the most out of Windows option. This should turn off that screen.
If that doesn't works, try the registry based Method 2 mentioned here:

How about the MOTHER**bleep**ERS at M$hit DONT **bleep**ING DECIDE FOR US AND LOCK US INTO THE MOTHER **bleep**ING SCREEN.
Have you pieces of **bleep** ever heard of the option: Cancel? Is this concept to complex for microShit to understand and implement? Or is it a itch that you need to scratch to show power, LOOK WHAT WE CAN!! WE CAN LOCK YOU INTO A SCREEN.. **bleep**ING BITCHES
How about you at MicroSHIT LET USE DECIDE WHEN WE PAY THE **bleep**ING MONEY!!!KapilArya Neither of these options exist on the Windows 10 machine I am working with. Is there an alternate way?
You need to be on W10 version 2004 or newer. The settings to disable these were added in build 18945 from what I see online. So this will not likely work on 1903, 1909, etc.
I am on 20H2 and it works fine on multiple machines, either going through notifications and actions via Settings or just setting the registry key.
Look...the problem here is that Microsoft is getting more and more intrusive. Because they can get away with it unless we're willing to go to IOS or Linux or Chrome OS. It's having to wait 15 minutes to use my office laptop when I open up in the morning when Microsoft has decided to run it's required updates...and I'm standing like a dork in front of co-workers are waiting for my presentation.
Now it's this "Finish Setting up Your Device" blue screen...on a device that I've been running for years...because Microsoft just won't quit trying to sell me Office 365 that I don't want, or using "One Cloud" that I don't want...and pushing other stuff that if I wanted it...I would already have it. So now we have this blue screen that we can't get rid of without agreeing to be reminded again in three days or hitting "continue" and going through all the screens and telling Microsoft I don't want it. How's about giving us a "No Thanks" button with a "Don't Send This Again" checkbox.
But no...if we have an early version of Wiindows 10...we can't get rid of this pop-up blue screen without spending our time going into the registry for who knows how long it will take...to MAYBE get rid of this pop-up blue screen.
It makes me long for the days of Windows 7. Hell...it makes me long for the days of XP.
We bought this gear with your operating system on it. How's about you just leave us the _______ alone and let us use it.
KapilArya will turning off that setting mean that I'll no longer get any notifications about necessary updates to Windows, or when the fall release of Windows 10 is available to be installed on my PC?
