Windows Updated and is Pushing More Stuff

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.

Try to uncheck "Suggest ways I can finish setting up my device to get the most out of Windows"/"Show me the Windows welcome experience after updates and occasionally when I sign in to highlight what’s new and suggested" in Settings -> System -> Notification & actions (Windows 10) or "Offer suggestions on how I can set up my device" in Settings -> System -> Notifications (Windows 11)
