Yes, as always.

I normally disable it at installation, but this time I couldn't seem to
find the right combination of options. The last time I did a full
install is about 5 years ago and I've just been upgrading ever since.
The new install was prompted by getting a new SSD and deciding to bite
the bullet and use UEFI for boot instead of MBR.

No, the login appears to work, but always shows this pop-up.
Nevertheless, nothing seems to be disabled. In fact I often don't
notice it because it's behind some other window. It's an annoyance
rather than a showstopper.
