Microsoft is constantly introducing new functions and features in its operating system. And what he wants is for users to use them. For this, in addition to showing the news of the OS when updating, or through announcements, the company sometimes uses techniques of the most annoying in order to present the functions and try to make users use them.
One of the most annoying techniques Microsoft uses is the full screen ” Get even more out of Windows, ” a screen to enhance the Windows 10 experience that appears when you turn on your PC. This full screen may appear either when you turn on the PC, or when you close and log on to the computer. And if we don’t interact with it, it doesn’t disappear.
What is the screen to improve the Windows 10 experience
For over a year, Windows 10 has a function to display a full screen to the turn the computer on which shows users the new features that do not use Windows invited to set them up.
Among other recommendations, we can find:
- An invitation to use Windows Hello to log in safely and quickly.
- Link our mobile to Windows to be able to work with both at the same time easily.
- Set up Microsoft sync services to use the cloud and other features, such as activity history.
- Buy Office 365 and start Office programs.
- Protect personal files with a OneDrive cloud backup .
We can proceed to the Windows configuration to get everything up and running instantly. Or, if we prefer, we can postpone the configuration to start using the operating system. Despite everything, it is a very annoying screen. Luckily, Windows 10 has two different ways to disable it to prevent it from coming out again when you turn on your PC.
Disable the “Get even more out of Windows” screen from Settings
The Windows 10 Settings menu often goes unnoticed by users. However, if we search, we can find a large number of options to adapt the operation of the operating system to our tastes.
If we open the Windows 10 Configuration menu, and scroll to the System > Notifications and actions section , we will find an option that allows us to enable or disable “the Windows welcome experience after updates and when you log in to find out news and suggestions. ”
We uncheck that box and voila. Incidentally, if we want to make sure that Microsoft does not bother us again with these features, we can take advantage of unchecking the following two boxes, stopping receiving suggestions and stopping getting tips and tricks.
From now on, this welcome screen will never be shown again to take advantage of Windows. We will not see anything again when new features arrive or when the operating system is updated to new versions.
Edit Windows Registry
If we do not trust the Windows Settings menu, we do not have access to it or this option does not work and the screen continues to appear, then we can also disable it directly from the Windows registry itself.
To do this, the first thing we will do is open the Windows 10 registry editor and go to the next section:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > UserProfileEngagement
If it does not exist, we will create the registration key as is within “Current Version”. Here we must locate a value called “ScoobeSystemSettingEnabled”. Likewise, if it doesn’t exist, we can create it as a new 32-bit DWORD value, and give it the value “0” to disable this full screen.
We can also take advantage of and go to the following Windows registry directory to make other modifications:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > ContentDeliveryManager
Here we must locate the 3 entries that begin with “SubscriptionsContent”, and double clicking on them change its value to “0”.
Once this is done, we restart the computer and we should not see this configuration screen again to take advantage of the system when turning on Windows 10.
How to reverse the changes
In case we want to reverse the changes later, all we have to do is follow the same steps in reverse. The first thing we will do is reactivate the options that we have deactivated in the Configuration menu so that Windows works again as designed by default.
And if we have made changes to the Windows registry, we must revert them. If we have created any of the registry entries because they were not created by default, it is not necessary to delete them. Just change its value from “0” to “1” and you’re done.
The same we have to do with the other entries that we have modified. The default value of all these options is “1”, therefore, we will have to manually reconfigure this value so that everything works as designed.
