I get this popup message whenever I start the computer. Sometimes I get it when I start the Opera browser too. I'm not even sure what iCloud is, but it's not jiving with my email account for some reason. What I don't like about the popup is that slows the start up procedure. Any ideas on how to get rid of the popup? The OS is El Capitan 10.11.6

With people.

No need to put people in boxes on this one.

I started the computer up this evening with the iCloud box unchecked. I still got the popup message. The computer seems to be starting up just fine, but there is a very long delay in launching the Opera browser. After the browser finally loads, then the popup message is displayed. I might have to take this computer to a Mac specialist.

Opera, Chinese dude, be careful.

I am 100% apple free but have had to service them in the past, so I know a bit. Find an enthusiast forum and ask I guess.

I asked the same question on "MacRumors." Nobody had an answer. By the way, don't ever click on their political forum. They're hardcore liberals.
