Found this via search. For 18.04 Ubuntu Mate, you can turn this off from the Start menu:

System - Preferences - Personal - Startup Applications

At the very bottom is Welcome Ubuntu MATE Welcome autostart

Googlers, in Ubuntu-MATE 20.x it has become a snap plugin:

snap remove ubuntu-mate-welcome

(removal has to happen for each existing user)

There should be a checkbox called "Open Welcome when I log in" on the main screen which you can uncheck to hide the welcome.

Or if you really want you can uninstall and purge the package ubuntu-mate-welcome

OP might need to know: sudo apt purge ubuntu-mate-welcome command should be used to accomplish second method. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jul 19 '18 at 04:34
Where can I see the checkbox on the main screen?... – user830486 Jul 19 '18 at 04:42
@user830486 probably into the welcome window, you got this checkbox (or if there is a parameter button, it must be inside it) – damadam Jul 19 '18 at 08:40
