Eclipse Photon, Skip Welcome, CheckBox missing

In the Eclipse Photon (1) release C/C++ Eclipse Photon (1) Welcome Screen the CheckBox to skip the Welcome Screen in future sessions is missing. Is there any other way to disable it in the settings?

Edit: I do not see checkboxes (but plusses?) in Help->Content->Scope->new enter image description here

Solution

  • Thanks to a hint in the comments I found a solution. In the file 

    $WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.intro/introstate

    is a tag state with attribute reopen set to "true". Changing that to "false" worked. The complete modified file is as follows.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<state reopen="false"/>
