In Windows 11, as well as in Windows 10, the Let ‘s complete the setup of your device screen is periodically shown when you log in. How to prevent the operating system from repeating it.

The screens that Windows offers in the last phase of the installation of the operating system are part of the procedure called OOBE ( Out of Box Experience ): the various warnings ask the user to set the language and keyboard layout, indicate the use to be made of the PC (personal or within an organization), connect to a network, configure an account by logging in preferably with a Microsoft user ( Windows 11 can be installed with a local account ), specify which data is shared with Microsoft, share or minus your location, improve digital inking and typing, get personalized experiences, and more.

In both Windows 10 and Windows 11, it often happens that after a system restart or a logout and subsequent login, the Let’s finish setting up your device screen appears . This is an OOBE-style message that appears periodically and invites you to discover and activate Windows Hello for Windows authentication , to use Microsoft 365, to connect your smartphone with your Windows PC ( Connect to Phone application or Your phone depending on whether you are using Windows 11 or Windows 10), to enable OneDrive and to optimize the browsing experience with the Edge browser.
