Option One is not available on my Win 11 Pro 22000.527 PC. "Show me the Windows welcome experience after updates and occasionally when I sign in to highlight what’s new and suggested" is not there. The other two notification options on Offer suggestions and Get tips are still present.
I wonder if Microsoft has also negated the Registry Tweak? Anybody had recent experience?

Confirmed.

I've applied the registry tweak and have NOT seen the Windows Welcome Experience after applying numerous updates

Interesting. I could have sworn it was there before in the public builds.

It is currently in the Insider build 22563.
