Yup, I know what I'm doing, but someone else might have just assumed it was required. I was up and running for a week before a reboot sent me to the smiling windows install screen.

I found it's a pretty simple "don't ask to finish installing" switch in the settings, but escaping the install screen was the hard part. I think I had to do a hard power down and force safe mode to access the settings again.
