If you don’t set up those Microsoft services, you’ll get a message reminding you to finish setting it up every few days. You can click Continue or Remind me in 3 days. Both options are annoying, and there’s no option to decline. Instead, you’ll need to try a workaround. Here’s what you’ll need to do to disable the “Let’s finish setting up your device” message on Windows.

However, you may not have set those features up during installation. Maybe you don’t want to use them or you’ve found alternatives that work better.

The screen is nothing more than a reminder, and you can shut it off—click the Remind me in 3 days link to get to the desktop initially. To disable this message on Windows 11:
