I find this mildly infuriating, I only use Windows for work, I even personally purchased Windows 11. Local account and disabled as much as I could. I personally do not like Windows or Windows in general.

Well, now I do an update and they throw this up like I need to walk thru these steps (again). Not even a “Skip”/“Don’t remind me again”. Windows is not what it used to be and after disabling half the Microsoft stuff I’d expect not to be bothered again. It’s really a built in ad more then anything.

2023-08 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5029351)

    I swear this gets posted weekly, there’s a simple solution but it’s always missing from the comments.

    Go into notification settings

    Uncheck “Suggest ways I can finish setting up my device to get the most out of Windows”

    While you’re at it, turn off any of the other suggestion / recommendation settings.

      I did already have this turned off, and it still pops things up like this and trying to get me to sign into a Microsoft account. It’s just annoying and they don’t provide an option to skip or don’t remind me again which makes it even worse.

      The problem is, there’s no immediately visible option to stop this crap; stopping said crap therefore takes time, which is an individual person’s single most valuable resource. People have to go searching through settings or go googling ‘how do I do this’ in order to disable this, and even that slight inconvenience means there’s going to be a lot of people that want to disable it, but end up not bothering, and that’s not a good thing. Rule of thumb, if it’s not absolutely trivial to do on a whim, it may as well be impossible.
