Turn off Windows 11 setup notifications permanently

Windows 11 frequently displays the “Let’s finish setting up your device” notification, which can become annoying for users who have already configured their system preferences. This persistent notification often reappears after system updates or reboots. Here are two reliable methods to permanently disable these notifications.

Method 1: Windows settings configuration

The most straightforward and safest approach to eliminate these setup notifications is through Windows Settings.

  1. Open Windows Settings by clicking the Start button and selecting the Settings icon.

  1. Navigate to the System section from the left sidebar menu.

  1. Select Notifications from the available options.

  1. Scroll to find Additional settings and uncheck “Suggest ways to get the most out of Windows and finish setting up this device”.

  1. To prevent welcome screens after updates, uncheck “Show the Windows welcome experience after updates and when signed in to show what’s new and suggested”.

Method 2: Registry modification

For situations where the settings method doesn’t resolve the issue, registry modification offers a more permanent solution. Remember to backup your registry first.

  1. Type Registry Editor in the Start menu search and launch the application.

  1. Create a backup by clicking File and selecting Export.

  1. Choose All in Export range, name your backup file, and save it.

  1. Navigate to this registry path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager

  1. Right-click in the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it SubscribedContent-310093Enabled.

  1. Double-click the newly created value.

  1. Enter 0 as the Value data and click OK.

  1. Restart your computer to implement these changes.
