Windows 10: Stop Microsoft Hello pop-up

On every reboot of my computer I'm currently getting a splashscreen about setting up Microsoft Hello. It always fails due to being unable to connect to the server, and from what I can tell this is a tablet thing. I'm running Windows 10 on a tower that has no touchscreen or any attached camera, so it can't use Hello anyway. I have investigated Windows settings, and the relevant items are all already disabled.


How do I disable this **** so it stops interfering with my boot-ups?

How To Stop A Microsoft Pop-Up?

Hi Barman58,

OK, I found this page that looks a lot like the one you posted, but it only has "Share Across Devices" listed.





As you can see it's in the on position. Should I set it to the off position? This will not affect my Chrome Sync will it?
