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:

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.- It's a good rant but at this point it shouldn't even matter anymore hopefully. 2004 is eol and later versions don't seem to be as aggressive with this screen.
Unfortunately they know businesses/enterprise aren't going to move away from MS and that is a huge market. The threat to go to MacOS, Linux, etc isn't real except maybe for home / SOHO users.
I'd settle for some testing of updates at this point because that clearly isn't happening to the level it should. Breaking Hyper-V on servers with an update is almost impressive if it weren't so awful.
Hi Kapil,
My Mom’s computer is stuck in “find my device screen”All buttons loops back and no option for any selections to be made is available. Ctrl alt delete won’t bring up the menu it does nothing when you try to access ctrl alt del. Start menu not showing. Restarted and updated computer. Restart does go to her home screen but then this screen comes up again and I cannot get her out of this devices set up screen. Any tips? Thanks so much in advance!
Hello AshleyCizman,
Can you share us the screenshot of the screen where the computer is currently? Also, what exactly happens when you start machine, do you see the boot screen and then login screen?Regards.
