There's a "Getting Started" app built in to win11 that is both completely useless and totally unremovable by any method without breaking the OS.
That's because it's not an app. Do "Winget list" and you'll see it's not there.
It's part of the shell. Open it up, look at task manager, and you'll see it's not spawning new processes. Which also mean it's irrelevant - it doesn't add any background tasks, modifies any files or in anyway interfere with the users. It's quite literally just an icon created by the shell.
