How can I disable the welcome screen in Eclipse Neon?

Answer 1

After you uncheck the "Always show Welcome as start up" checkbox, you need to close the "Welcome" view (clicking the X in its tab). Only then can you close or restart Eclipse, which will now no longer show the "Welcome" view at startup.
