Hi. I just downloaded the 11c upgrade. I have worked out most clitches but one eludes me. When I opan Lightroom, a Welcome to Lightroom pop up appears with directions and infor on the new version and links. (Mostly about the change in masking) Well I don't need that but now I can not shut it off? Anyone have an answer to how to get it to stop opening on startup??

There is a checkbox in the lower-left corner of that pop-up that says "Got it", or "Don't show this", or something like that. If you don't see that, then please post a full-resolution screenshot of the entire LR window, including the pop-up.

Well, yeah, its just like you say it is. I push that Got It button every time to close it. It closes then but the dang pop up comes back every time I re-open. Weird. I post a copy. Here is a copy of the Welcome screen which is on top of the light room layout. Printscreen does not do them both. Does not matter if I open in Library or Develop mode, the pop up happens in both.

Annoying indeed. Try resetting LR's preferences:

Whether you clicked the Got It button is recorded in the preferences file. LR sometimes soils the file, and resetting it can fix all sorts of wonky behavior. That article explains how to restore the old preferences if resetting doesn't help.
