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.

Rod-F, Thank you so much for posting this!
I needed help for this same thing but for different reasons. At some point I allowed some of my OneNote notebooks to OneDrive and then I noticed some corruption of my pages, so I tried to migrate back to local computer only. Unfortunately somehow my files had been changed in OneDrive, and I was unable to edit any of the pages on my notebooks once I got them back on my computer only. I decided I can't allow my files to live on OneDrive ever again.
So I need a way to keep that "welcome" screen from returning every 3 days.
I really appreciate your thorough explanation of the problem you were having!
