How to disable ‘Let’s finish setting up your device’ with ‘Remind me in 3 days’ prompt on Windows 11

On Windows 11, you can stop the system from showing the “Let’s finish setting up your device” page at login, and in this guide, I’ll explain the steps to complete this process.

Sometimes, after installing an update or restarting the computer, Windows 11 may show you the “Let’s finish setting up your device” prompt to lure you into using other features and services, such as OneDrive and Microsoft 365. Microsoft even uses this page to try getting you to switch to the Edge browser if you’re using another application.

The page also includes a “Continue” button to proceed with the suggestions, and instead of an option to stop receiving this message, you will only find the “Remind me in 3 days” (or “Remind me later”) option. Once you click this option, you will eventually be shown the same again and again, which can get frustrating quickly.

However, Windows 11 has the option to disable this and other messages, but it is buried deeply into the settings, so it’s hard to find.

In this guide, I’ll outline the steps to get rid of the page trying to lure you into configuring certain features or enrolling in specific services to continue using Windows 11.
