We have a fix going out in the next version. It might take 1-2 weeks to ship the new version.

Press the Alt key or F10 key on your keyboard to show the Thunderbird menu, then:

Thunderbird menu: Help: About Thunderbird

Does it say that the version is 45.6.0? If not, then it is probably saying that it is downloading an update. When finished downloading, it will prompt you to restart Thunderbird.

If the version is already 45.6.0 and you are still getting the "System Integration" popup, then:

Press the Alt key or F10 key on your keyboard to show the Thunderbird menu, then:

Thunderbird menu: Tools: Options: Advanced section: General tab See my screenshot below. Disable the option "Always check to see if Thunderbird is the default mail client on startup". Then press the "Check Now" button, and disable the option, "Always perform this check when starting Thunderbird". Then press the "Set as Default" button.

While your here at these options, and since you use Windows 10, in both of those places, also disable the option "Allow Windows Search to search messages". This will keep Thunderbird from freezing up in Windows 10, like many have a problem with.
