• Let's complete setting you up

    From John Hall@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 14 14:38:34 2023
    Every so often, when I launch Windows 10 it comes up with "Let's
    complete setting you up", which apparently would involve a whole load of
    things I don't want it to do. So I always click on "Remind me in three
    days". Fortunately it seems to be more like three weeks before it
    happens again, but it's still becoming a bit tedious. If instead I click
    on "Continue", can I tell it not to do any of the things it's
    threatening me with, or will it - as I fear - do some or all of them
    regardless of my wishes?

    I think I selected "continue", then cancelled in one of the following
    screens.

    First reply in this has a fix.

    Thanks for that. I've now done what it suggested.

    I have noticed more of these with the release of W11, even though MS
    says my system is not worthy of running W11

    When I see these screens I click, Continue, and answer negatively to all screens that want me to create a Window email, install some software, or
    what ever they are trying to add to my computer.

    Does It work?   While I see that screen periodically, I only see it once
    or twice every 2 or 3 months.

    I think it is related to some type of update.

    "Windows 10 really wants you to use Edge, and OneDrive, and Windows

    Odd. I found it on my Windows 22H2 19045 with no trouble. (Different
    number after the dot, but I doubt that could explain it.)

    There's an on-off toggle for "Get notifications from apps and other
    senders", and next there's a group of six check boxes. The one you
    want is next to last in that group.

    Small size.
    suggest.png 133KB
    suggest.gif 62KB

    Lack of metadata.
    Check with Hex editor, only the first few characters are text

    I have tried to "clean" JPGs before, and just
    am not happy with the process. A GIF is crude enough,
    to be more trustworthy.

    The OS knows the WxH of the image, but this is
    derived, rather than read out from EXIF or the like.

    Odd. I found it on my Windows 22H2 19045 with no trouble. (Different number after the dot, but I doubt that could explain it.)
    I wonder if I checked it several months ago and MS is overriding it?

    Would the OS SKU make a difference ?
    A different appearance on Home versus Pro ?

    Or perhaps some other "stop bothering me" setting
    disables all that stuff ? Nested prefs.

    There's an on-off toggle for "Get notifications from apps and other
    senders", and next there's a group of six check boxes. The one you
    want is next to last in that group.

    I've added a screen shot. If it's too small, you can click to enlarge
    it to full size.

    Lack of metadata.
       Check with Hex editor, only the first few characters are text

    I have tried to "clean" JPGs before, and just
    am not happy with the process. A GIF is crude enough,
    to be more trustworthy.

    Ah.


    The OS knows the WxH of the image, but this is
    derived, rather than read out from EXIF or the like.


    With desktop captures, I have found sometimes that jpg is too big.

    In my android Samsung phone, the location data can be turned off.  On my phone it is not in the setting for the phone but in the setting of the camera.

    I intentionally have it on.

    Only when I decide to publish a photo I remove that data.

    Yes, the camera app has a setting to write or not location data, and
    there is a different setting to disable location globally.

    Yes, you can click on Continue. You will get some questions but cancel everything they ask. Nothing happens then.
