    No. I have definitely had the “suggest ways to finish setting up” setting revert itself after quarterly Windows feature updates. There was no prompt and it never asked me. It also reverts my fast startup setting, which on my particular motherboard causes Windows to take half an hour to boot. So I tend to notice that one when it changes the setting behind my back.

    I find this immensely irritating. (The “finish setting up” option is the one that causes it to nag you every ~5 startups to create a Microsoft account, if you are using a local account like a sane person.)

    You can disable these in Group Policy Editor, if you are running Windows 10 Pro or any of its myriad enterprise versions, and have admin permissions. If you do that insofar as I have observed they stay disabled. If you are running Win10 home, I believe the trick still works where you can steal a copy of the Group Policy snap-in (gpedit.msc) from a Pro copy of Windows via flash drive or whatever and just plonk it in your Windows folder, and it works.
