The “Let’s finish setting up your device” notification in Windows 11 is meant to guide users in utilizing all features of the operating system. While helpful initially, it can become bothersome when it continues to appear after updates or restarts. If you’d prefer to stop seeing this prompt, there are simple ways to disable it.

Use the settings app

The easiest method to turn off the “Let’s finish setting up your device” notifications is through the Settings app.

Click on the Start button and select the Settings icon from the menu to open the system settings.
In the Settings window, ensure that the System tab is selected on the left sidebar.
On the right pane, click on the Notifications option to access the notification settings.
Scroll down to the bottom of the Notifications settings and locate the Additional settings section. Uncheck the box next to “Suggest ways to get the most out of Windows and finish setting up this device”.
If you also wish to disable the Windows welcome experience that appears after updates, uncheck the option labeled “Show the Windows welcome experience after updates and when signed in to show what’s new and suggested”.

Once these settings are adjusted, you will no longer receive the “Let’s finish setting up your device” notifications.

Use registry editor

If disabling the notification through the Settings app doesn’t work, you can turn it off using the Registry Editor. It’s recommended to back up the registry before making any changes to prevent potential issues.

Open the Start menu, type Registry Editor in the search bar, and select the Registry Editor app from the results.
In the Registry Editor, click on File in the top-left corner and choose Export to create a backup of the registry.
In the Export Registry File dialog, select All under Export range, provide a file name, and click Save.
Navigate to the following registry path by copying and pasting it into the address bar and pressing Enter:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager
In the right pane, right-click on an empty space, select New, and choose DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name this new value SubscribedContent-310093Enabled.
Double-click on the SubscribedContent-310093Enabled value to modify it.
Set the Value data to 0 and click OK to save the changes.
Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer to apply the changes.

After rebooting, the notification should no longer appear on your system.

By following these methods, you can disable the “Let’s finish setting up your device” notifications in Windows 11, achieving a smoother user experience without unnecessary prompts.
