Removing Stuck Setup Windows in macOS Sonoma

A persistent window that won't close after an OCLP upgrade is usually a stuck "Background Items Added" or "Setup Assistant" process.

How to Clear It:

  1. Force Quit: Press Cmd + Opt + Esc and see if "Setup Assistant" is listed. If so, Force Quit it.
  2. Activity Monitor: Open Activity Monitor, search for Setup Assistant or CloudExperienceHost, and force quit the process.
  3. Terminal Fix: Run defaults write com.apple.SetupAssistant DidSeeCloudSetup -bool TRUE in Terminal to tell macOS the setup is finished.
  4. Library Cleanup: Delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SetupAssistant.plist and reboot.

Original Question: "Anyone have an Idea?"

Anyone have an Idea?

I upgraded from Big Sur to Sonoma on this buddy, but I get that persistent window sitting on my desktop. Other than that it works flawlessly. If you try to close the window, about 30 clicks!, it will go away but will come back after sleep or shutdown.
