How to skip the "Add a Microsoft Account" on System Startup

Microsoft is pretty good at making Windows a good generic utility laptop for web surfing and general word processing work.  Setting up the laptops so users don't need a domain or a login works fairly well and worked really well in XP and Windows 7.  However under windows 10 Microsoft can get really annoying with wanting the device associated with a Microsoft Account.


To by pass this notification, it is actually a very simple setting in Windows 10.  

Open the settings App



Open Notifications & Actions Settings



By default most if not all the notifications are on.  To disable the Microsoft notification un check the "Suggest ways I can finish setting up my device to get the most out of Windows"



Once unchecked the "Add a Microsoft Account" will go away once you reboot, and won't appear on startup.
